DOWNLOAD OPENING SOON This Upcoming Month's Book: A Midsummer Night's Dream by William Shakespeare July 2nd, 2025 Shakespeare’s A Midsummer Night’s Dream has delighted audiences for over 400 years, humoring us with the impish Puck, the regal gods Tatiana and Oberon, and the buffoonish Rude Mechanicals, but as with all of Shakespeare’s plays, the metaphors of the poetry belie the surface readings of the four intertwined tales. In this lecture, Executive Director Preston Metcalf will show the folk art traditions underlying the words, and how they would be elevated from images of local traditions to art of Royal justification.
