The Nightmare Dream
Adapted and Directed by Neal J. Freeman
What would happen if Shakespeare was “bitten” by Bram Stoker’s Dracula? One man aims to find out.
Neal J. Freeman has created a mash up of two classic texts: Midsummer and Dracula. The Nightmare ‘Dream’ is the Shakespeare play told through a classic horror film lens with a healthy dose of tongue-in cheek. As the lovers embark on their famous journey into the woods, they encounter a villain unlike any imagined by Shakespeare. No ruffled neck is safe in this, the ORIGINAL douchey teen vampire drama.
The Nightmare ‘Dream’ will play Sunday 8/11 at 6pm, Monday 8/12 at 9:30pm, Thursday 8/15 at 9:30pm, Friday 8/16 at 3:45pm, and Sunday 8/18 at 4:15pm.
See website for more information: www.bloodyshakespeare.com or www.fringenyc.org.
Tickets on sale July 19 at www.fringenyc.org.
