A Caribbean Dream

Feb 5 2020 N/A 1h 22m
Comedy, Drama, Fantasy

Shakespeare’s romantic comedy is re-told in the Caribbean and brought into the 21st Century when Theseus and Hippolyta, returning Nationals, come home to Barbados to be married during Crop Over festival time. The island’s early history, folklore, culture and stunning landscape, lends itself perfectly for the mysticism, comedy and chaos that ensues, the night before the nuptual celebrations.

Plot

Contemporary re-imagining of Shakespeare's 'A Midsummer Night's Dream' set on the island of Barbados in the Caribbean. Chaos ensues when Puck the Butler and the staff of a tropical paradise home turn into mischievous fairies and tamper with the wedding plans of three multicultural couples. Or was this a changeling boy's dream?
