Academy Drama: A Midsummer Night’s Drunk

What would love be if there is an expiry day of the magic of love?

The Shakespearean A Midsummer Night’s Dream focuses on the young lovers’ strike for their love against the control of paternal authority as well as how the fairies use the mystical, magical cupid’s droplets to change their fate, making their love lives “complete”. In this 2024 version, A Midsummer Night’s Drunk, we start with a crazy yet important thought -- “What would love be if the magical power of the droplet had an expiry date?” 

What would love remain upon awakening?
