A Midsummer Night’s Dream… A Puppet Epic!

Magic! Romance! A Donkey! Oh what fools these puppets be! Shakey-Shake and Friends is back with their hit FringeKids! show, an epic retelling of Shakespeare's classic 'A Midsummer Night's Dream'...with puppets! Shakey-Shake is getting married, so his friends put on a play to celebrate: featuring mischievous sprites, quarreling lovers, and of course, a puppet who gets turned into a donkey! Follow Shakey-Shake, Zip, Len, Lucy, Paris, Anne, Donna, and Marlowe through the classic story in a fun, playful manner that combines the humour and style of the Muppet tradition with the magic of Shakespeare! A Midsummer Night's Dream... A Puppet Epic! runs July 16-19 at the Palmerston Library Theatre in repertory with Honest Aesop's Fables from Tarradiddle Productions!

Children were on the edge of their seats enjoying the humorous lines and especially the physical comedy. - Tarah Kennedy, Mooney on Theatre
