Charles from Shakespeare
We're in study hall where just about everyone is doing everything except studying
for tomorrow's test on A Midsummer Night's Dream. That is, until
Jessie gets an idea. In this rollicking adaptation of Shakespeare's play (wherein is examined the adolescent urges of
just about everybody), teenagers, fairies, workers and royalty collide in a forest on a summer night and are bedazzled by
a prankster. The fairy queen falls in love with an ass, the teens fall in and out (and in) love with each other, six well-meaning
goofs stumble into their 15 minutes of fame, fairies weave magic to bring it all to a happy end as only Shakespeare can conjure
the tapestry, and three streetwise storytellers pull the audience at breakneck speed toward the moon-drenched conclusion
