Pre-performance reception and lecture entitled \u201cMidsummer-Night Queens\u201d, presented by the McGillicuddy Humanities Center.<\/p>\n

UMaine professor and Stephen E. King Chair Caroline Bicks, a Shakespeare scholar, will conduct the lecture about Shakespeare\u2019s magical comedy A Midsummer Night’s Dream<\/em>, which features an abundance of queens, including an off-stage appearance by Elizabeth I herself. Dr. Bicks will discuss the thematic issues that circulate around these formidable females and that inform the play\u2019s larger explorations of love, gender, and power.<\/p>\n

6-6:15pm reception
\n6:15-6:45pm lecture
\n7 pm – Live broadcast of the show from the National Theater in London<\/p>\n

The lecture and reception will take place in Bodwell Lounge on the 3rd floor of the Collins Center for the Arts.<\/p>\n

About the play: A feuding fairy King and Queen of the forest cross paths with four runaway lovers and a troupe of actors trying to rehearse a play. As their dispute grows, the magical royal couple meddle with mortal lives leading to love triangles, mistaken identities and transformations\u2026 with hilarious, but dark consequences.<\/p>\n

Shakespeare\u2019s most famous romantic comedy will be captured live from the Bridge Theatre in London. Gwendoline Christie (Game of Thrones), Oliver Chris (Green Wing, NT Live: Young Marx), David Moorst (NT Live: Allelujah!) and Hammed Animashaun (The Barber Shop Chronicles) lead the cast as Titania, Oberon, Puck and Bottom.<\/p>\n

Directed by Nicholas Hytner, this production of A Midsummer Night\u2019s Dream<\/em> will build on the success of his immersive staging of Julius Caesar (NT Live 2018). The Bridge Theatre will become a forest \u2013 a dream world of flying fairies, contagious fogs and moonlight revels, surrounded by a roving audience following the action on foot.
