Motte & Bailey, prod. is proud to present Midsummer / Bowie Elton Queen, a musical adaptation of Shakespeare’s A Midsummer Night’s Dream featuring music by David Bowie, Elton John, and Queen.
As Director Hannah Fogler's third Shakespeare / Music adaptation, Midsummer is a celebration of life, love, and embracing who you are - even if you have to get a little lost in the woods in order to find yourself. Following quarreling lovers, a horny fairy court in turmoil, and an uproarious band of players, Midsummer is at once hilarious, heartwarming, and incredibly mischievous. Extremely Queer and splendiferously colorful, with glitter and whimsy from asses-to-elbows, Midsummer / Bowie Elton Queen will leave you with a song in your heart and a smile you won’t be able to wipe away.
Audiences are encouraged to make the most of the outdoor lawn seating and bring blankets and camp chairs for their evening with the Fairy Court.
