The Duke of Athens and the Amazon Queen are getting married in the morning. It's going to be a big one, and everyone's invited. The King and Queen of the Fairies arrive into ancient Athens, ready to be guests of honour at the party of the age.
There's a gifted new Changeling in town -- a uniquely talented human who's attracting some attention. Titania has plans, Oberon's wound up about it, there's a long night ahead and naturally it all comes down to who does what. The planets have their own ideas, and elsewhere, deep within the forest, we see a leatherworker and part-time male stripper rehearsing a play that's ahead of its time...
This is A Midsummer Night's Dream as you've never known it before. A punk revision of Shakespeare's narratives of pleasure and power, WILD TIME is a new world composed of erotic and theatrical acrobatics, taking liberties with Greek gods and literary idols like nothing is sacred. It's funny, it's sexy, and you've got a front row seat.
