Passport Destination 2:  The second stop on your 2009 Detroit Passport to the Arts adventure is…AN OLD ENGLISH PUB!

We have all heard of Shakespeare. He was the Michael Jordan of basketball, the Tiger Woods of Golf and the Elvis Presley of Rock ‘n Roll. But, what was really happening in the late 1500s? Was Shakespeare really like us? The Hilberry Theatre presents A Midsummer Night’s Dream, a humorous tale of mysteries, love, confusion and fairies (Introducing characters: Oberon and Puck). At least we know he had a sense of humor.

DP2A members will have Shakespeare demystified by an expert in the field who wants to entice the novice. Get to know the man…and his words. Enjoy one last kiss of summer: An Oberon Beer Tasting and pizza party with the actors. Who says the English were proper?
