About

Commonwealth Shakespeare Company brings this beloved comedy to Boston Common from July 22 through August 9, 2026, staging a traditional production where four young lovers stumble into an enchanted forest ruled by quarreling fairies and the mischievous Puck. Their attempt to escape tangled relationships spirals into magical chaos as mistaken identities and supernatural interference create unexpected pairings and comedic confusion. The production offers a classic take on Shakespeare's exploration of love, magic, and transformation in a natural outdoor setting.
