In this retelling of A Midsummer Night's Dream when Hermia is confronted with the choice to marry Demetrius, go to a nunnery, or die, this Hermia chooses death! But her father, Theseus, and the court aren't having it. Soooooo, lost in a nunnery with Thisbe, moonshine and a tree, Hermia fights her way back to life with poetry, love and maybe just a little magic.
Welcome to LAByrinth’s 25th annual Barn Series! The renowned free reading series is a festival of new plays, and a critical and exciting step in LAB’s development of new work. Many of LAByrinth’s world premieres have come from the Barn, giving audiences a sneak peek into the artistic process, and a chance to see plays before they’re the next hot ticket.
This reading series will be performed in-person.
