Drama - What a NightOct. 20-21 19:30  Venue Shanghai Grand Theatre Buick Theatre

A troupe of fairies from the Cupid family come to a moonlit forest to help a pair of young lovers start courting, yet they make series of mistakes.  Misfits fall in love because of the fairies.  Now the Cupids are trying to make amends, and it's a night of chaos and lamentable comedies.  The play, which is adapted from Shakespeare's classic comedy, A Midsummer Night's Dream, explores the mystery of love - why do you avoid saying "I love you" when you meet someone you really love?  Why are you a daredevil and have no scruples when you know it is unreal?  Who controls emotions inside us?  Does "I love you" come from your conscious mind or subconscious mind?
