Scenes from William Shakespeare's "A Midsummer Night's Dream" - Act Two, Scene One

The Brook Reading Podcast

This week begins a three-part series featuring scenes from William Shakespeare’s “A Midsummer Night’s Dream”. Journey with us to Athens, where magic, mystery, love, and hijinks await you. Our stellar cast brought this classic comedy to life through the wonder of voice acting, and our fantastic crew added the reality, and fantasy, through music and sound. Tonight, we will perform for you, our devoted audience, Act Two, Scene One. In our first scene, we meet our fairy court at night, deep in the wild forests of Athens. Our fairy king and queen, as well as a group of mortal lovers, are estranged. While the broken-hearted youngsters suffer misunderstandings and confusion, the turmoil beset by our fairy lord and lady annihilates the natural progression of our delicate environment. Enjoy the show!
