Book, Music and Lyrics by Laura Murphy
The Lovers is a pop-infused musical reimagining of Shakespeare's a "A Midsummer Night's Dream" that is bursting with heart, humour, and more than a touch of magic.
These four young lovers have been living inside Shakespeare's words for over 400 years. Oberon explodes onto the stage with his live Fairy Band and his ride or die sidekick, Puck. And together they give these classic characters a new language to use to tell their story: the language of pop music!
