‘A Midsummer Night's Dream’ is staged at NSU

NSUCDC annual drama 2014


Girl meets boy. Girl falls in love with boy. Girl loses boy when mischievous fairy sprinkles love "juice" on boy's eyelids, making him fall for another girl. Girl wins boy back (with the help of a little fairy magic).

No, it's not the latest romantic comedy to hit theaters near you; it's a play that was dreamed up by Sir William Shakespeare toward the end of the 16th century. Like the modern-day romantic comedy genre it's helped to shape and influence, A Midsummer Night's Dream features young lovers who fall comically in and out of love in a ridiculously brief period of time (over the course of a single, enchanted midsummer night).

The students of NSU performed this fantastic drama in a two day long ‘Annual Drama 2014’ during 20-21 April, 2014 arranged by The Cine & Drama Club of NSU (NSUCDC). The annual drama of NSUCDC was 22 years of regular performance.

They said, “we are delighted to see for the first time some armature is performing like professionals. We have seen us in them and hope in near future they will be like one of us. We are really glad to know that the authority of NSU provides opportunity to conduct such kind of activities besides the academic education.”
