This Summer 2022 Vicious Mole Theatre Collective explores the power of love with two of Shakespeare’s best-loved plays, one comedy & one tragedy: A Midsummer Night’s Dreame and Romeo & Juliet.
Two classic tales of love’s trials & travails, with adventure, magic, tragedy, and sorrow, mixing and intertwining on a Summer’s eve.
Our ensemble of Shakespeare veterans from New Hampshire & beyond will raise both plays over the course of 5 days of rehearsal. Come back & see both shows to explore two radically different looks at love with the same cast.
Performances:
We are playing at Shakespeare on the Green at Saint Anselm’s College Dana Center in Manchester, NH, July 21 - 30. All shows at 7:30pm.
