A sold-out hit last summer, Theatricum Botanicum returns to Elings Park over Memorial Day Weekend with two performances of their enchanting outdoor staging of Shakespeare’s “A Midsummer Night’s Dream.”
The Park’s Godric Grove becomes an enchanted forest – complete with an oak tree growing through the stage – where human and fairy realms collide, resulting in comic confusions, mistaken identities, and unrequited love. All is joyously reconciled. But perhaps it was all a dream?
Elings Park is a wonderful place to introduce your family to Shakespeare – outdoors and surrounded by nature, in Santa Barbara’s beautiful community park.
“Here’s hoping Elings... can continue to bring Shakespeare in the park to Santa Barbara for years to come.” – Santa Barbara Independent
