Forest Moon Theater will present “Shakespeare in Hollywood” at the Wake Forest Renaissance Centre for the Arts June 10-12 and June 17-19. Friday and Saturday show times are 7:30 p.m.; Sunday show times are 3 p.m.
It’s 1934 and the famous Max Reinhardt is filming Shakespeare’s “A Midsummer Night’s Dream.” When two of the bard’s most famous fairies, Oberon and Puck, appear by magic on the Hollywood set, the result is a hilarious combination of potent flowers, blonde bombshells, movie moguls and arrogant “asses” embroiled in multiple love triangles.
Winner of the Helen Hayes Award for Best New Play in 2004, Ken Ludwig’s take on Shakespeare’s well-known comedy is a fun-filled romp that sparkles with wit and charm.
Advance tickets are $15 plus tax for adults and $13 plus tax for students and seniors. These prices reflect a savings of $3 per adult and student/senior “day of” admission tickets.
The Renaissance Centre is located at 405 S. Brooks St. in the heart of downtown Wake Forest. For more information, visit www.wakeforestnc.gov/renaissance-centre.aspx or call the Renaissance Centre Box Office at 919-435-9458.
