A Cajun Midsummer Night’s Dream is a hilarious adaptation of William Shakespeare’s comedy that adds Cajun-French expressiveness, music, storytelling, voodoo, spiced with a love of good cooking and festivity, set amidst the wild semitropical bayou that suffuses all essential ingredients of this unique gumbo.
Set in 1954 along Bayou Tech near the Tabasco Plantation, this production utilizes Zydeco, honky-tonk and Cajun music on the Louisiana Hayride. It portrays the events surrounding the marriage of the Duke of Athens, Theseus, and Hippolyta. These include the adventures of four young Athenian lovers and a group of six amateur actors (the “rude mechanicals”) who are controlled and manipulated by Voodoo swamp spirits who inhabit the bayou in which most of the play is set. The play is one of Shakespeare’s most popular works for the stage and is widely performed across the world.
