ABOUT THE SHOW
For centuries, Oberon and Puck have been the ultimate matchmakers, crafting perfect love stories. But in a world where romance is a chaotic mix of swipes, situationships, and ghosting – Oberon worries that true love is becoming extinct. Just when all hope seems lost, four young lovers cross their path – ready for a night they’ll never forget.
Directed by Nick Skubij (Frankenstein, Fourteen), this brand-new, high-energy musical by Shake & Stir Theatre Co blends a killer soundtrack, a phenomenal live band, innovative video design, and a breath-taking cast.
Get set for a totally modern love story – where nothing goes as planned, but everything happens for a reason. It’s a contemporary mix tape of pop bangers presented on a Shakespearean scale.
