Quick Bright Things Come to Confusion,

or What We Do For Love

The Delacorte - Summer 2026

Directed by Jess Slaght

​​​​

​With its madcap romances, busted friendships, and chaotic fairy magic, A Midsummer Night’s Dream has surprised and delighted audiences for more than 400 years. In this special event, Frankie J. Alvarez, Grantham Coleman, Micaela Diamond, J. Harrison Ghee, Rebecca Naomi Jones, Matty Maggiacomo, and Christian Slater, will present an excerpt of Shakespeare’s story of the play’s four young lovers in all their lovestruck comic confusion, sparking a conversation about why and how we do so many crazy, inspired, devoted, disloyal things in our friendships and love affairs.
