[/caption]The UW-La Crosse Department of Theatre Arts will perform an unruly twist on a Shakespeare classic.
The comedy "Shakespeare in Hollywood" takes place in 1934. Shakespeare’s famous fairies Oberon and Puck magically have materialized in Hollywood on the set of Max Reinhardt’s "A Midsummer Night’s Dream" at Warner Brothers Studio. Instantly smitten by the glitz and glamour, they are ushered into the world of the silver screen to play who else but ... themselves? Mischievous magic sparkles in this hilarious movieland romp, according to the playwright's website.
