"Loves Magic" pres. by Bell Shakespeare Company Actors at Work Program

Scenes from Romeo And Juliet and A Midsummer Night’s Dream... 'Think but this, and all is mended’  A Midsummer Night’s Dream, Act 5 Scene 1.  The course of love is never smooth! Spells and potions, Cupid’s wayward arrows, interfering parents and bad timing all conspire to make matters difficult! Love’s Magic uses scenes from Romeo And Juliet and A Midsummer Night’s Dream to explore the soaring heights and plummeting depths that love can take us to.  Students see how Shakespeare’s words come alive and how his characters’ dilemmas resonate with their own view of the world around them.
