Shakespeare in Hollywood

It’s 1934, and Shakespeare’s most famous fairies, Oberon and Puck, have magically materialized on the Warner Bros. Hollywood set of Max Reinhardt’s "A Midsummer Night’s Dream."

Instantly smitten by the glitz and glamour of show biz, the two are ushered onto the silver screen to play (who else?) themselves. With a little help from a feisty flower, blonde bombshells, movie moguls, and arrogant “asses” are tossed into loopy love triangles, with raucous results.

The mischievous magic of moviedom sparkles in this hilarious comic romp. Commissioned by the Royal Shakespeare Company, "Shakespeare in Hollywood" had its world premiere in 2003 at Arena Stage and won the Helen Hayes award for Best New Play of the Year.

Turner Theatre will be performing the play on Oct. 20, 21, and 22 at 7 p.m. Tickets are $7 and can be purchased at the door.

Michael Holloman, Director, 972-968-5400
