National Players tours with two shows in repertory, which may perform together or separately. Our 62nd Tour (2010-2011) features Shakespeare’s romantic comedy A Midsummer Nights' Dream and a gripping stage adaptation of The Scarlet Letter.

 

A Midsummer Night’s Dream
 
In this production of one of Shakespeare’s most revered comedies, we see how wonderful and silly the vagaries of love can be . . . but with a fresh twist on the setting that makes it relevant to today’s fast moving electronic media saturated world. The woods glow in the dark, the fairies dance to electronica, setting the scene for the wacky things that happen when a man loves a woman who loves a man who loves another woman. And just how much love potion is too much? Or if a man becomes a donkey for just a short while, can he find happiness? Welcome to the magical and mystical confusion of William Shakespeare’s A Midsummer Nights Dream. Four young lovers. A band of actors. The King and Queen of fairies . . . in a lover’s quarrel of titanic proportions. Experience mistaken love, dark nights, and dubious tricks in this classic comedy turned electric farce.

 

The Scarlet Letter

 
During the chilly winter of 1666 we find Hester Prynne living in the Massachusetts Bay Colony with her only child. Scorned by her adulterous history, Hester bears the punishment of a scarlet red “A” emblazoned on her chest. Just beyond Hester’s daily cloud creeps her husband, long believed dead, waiting to seek his revenge on Hester as well as the father of her child. Will his murderous plot succeed? A kiss, evil, nature, the scarlet letter, and the punishing scaffold bring Nathaniel Hawthorne’s masterpiece to life with vibrancy. Come experience the conflict between human emotion and human intellect. It will not be forgotten.
