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. The third Shakespeare / Music adaptation from Hannah Fogler, following sold out performances of October’s Hamlet / Black Parade and March’s Caesar / Americana, 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.
