A Midsummer Night's Dream

A Midsummer Night's Dream, blends imaginative fancy with the stately traditions of Athenian aristocracy. Tensions between youthful rebellion against the hard realism of the State, and of the imagination against rationality, give the play its timeless appeal. The Bard blends and intertwines four plots together, thus blurs the distinction between imagination and reality. In Santa Clara University's version of this play, director Aldo Billingslea, skillfully weaves the multicultural lifestyle of the Silicon Valley into the plot. There will be an optional dinner before the play. To reserve, call Blair Cambra at 408-473-2205. For a map and  directions to the Mayer Theatre, visit http://www.scu.edu/map/mapa1.html.
