A Midsummer Night's Dream is one of Shakespeare's most well known comedies. So how do six B-list (barely) celebrities handle the bard's word? See how six housemates in a reality TV show handle this challenge.

"Aaron Blackledge contributes to the
performance dynamics with well-wrought
sound and lighting...."

Set on a midsummer's night, four young lovers find themselves wrapped in the dream-like arms of an enchanted forest where sprites lurk and fairies rule. While a feuding Fairy King and Queen are at war, their paths are crossed by Bottom, Quince and their friends presenting a play within a play. Chief mischief-maker Puck is on hand to ensure that the course of true love is anything but smooth, and games of fantasy, love and dreams ensue in Shakespeare's most beguiling comedy.

Watch six actors play over twenty characters in the unique setting of a reality TV show. Promises to be fast paced, humorous and fun!
