Kate Twa’s original adaptation of A Midsummer Night’s Dream returns to the South Okanagan this July, presented by Tempest Theatre. The play follows Shakespeare’s working-class characters as they refuse the comic subplot they were assigned and take on the entire Dream, only to find that the story they claimed has more to say about their own lives than they counted on. The performances are physical, funny, and fearless, and with only eighty seats per show, the audience is close enough to feel like they’re inside the story rather than watching it.
