Shakespeare’s Magic Reimagined for All Ages | Spokane News

Jean Hardie, a Shakespeare veteran who once directed the play for 17 years with eighth graders, returns to the Spokane Civic Theatre to helm a fresh, modern take on “A Midsummer Night’s Dream” — perfect for newcomers and seasoned fans alike. With three intertwining storylines — lovers tangled in romance, amateur actors staging a disastrous play, and mischievous fairies causing chaos — Hardie’s adaptation keeps Shakespeare’s wit intact while trimming lengthy speeches. Expect bold modern costumes, a pop-meets-classical soundtrack, and dynamic set design that shifts between fairy realms, royal courts, and enchanted forests. This whimsical, relatable classic opens Friday and runs through August 2nd — ideal for anyone ready to fall under its magical spell.
