Shakespeare’s “A Midsummer Night’s Dream” is supposed to take place as a dream on a summer night in a wooded forest, so it’s befitting that Midsomer Flight is presenting the comedy in a park setting during mid-summer.

What could be more appropriate than watching the laugh-filled fantasy of love gone awry among the verdant trees, foliage, and silky grass of a city park.
