Synopsis

The Bard’s most beloved comedy gets the full Seuss treatment in this playful adaptation.

Two madcap narrators chronicle the tale of the mixed-up lovers as they wander through a forest full of whoosh bush tush beasts and fairies dueling with bumballoon swords.

Told in rhyming couplets, this reimagining is how Shakespeare’s magical tale might have played if Dr. Seuss had gotten his hands on it... (A full-length version of this play is also available.) The Seussification of A Midsummer Night's Dream is not affiliated, endorsed, or sponsored by Dr. Seuss Enterprises.
