The play follows a fictional troupe of actors who arrive disastrously late to their own performance, missing half their cast, most of their costumes, and nearly all of their dignity.

As the audience becomes part of the action, the players scramble to assign roles, share backstage gossip, & pull together the performance in real time.

When the troupe finally begins Midsummer, the lines between play and reality blur, off-stage drama invades the stage, and the audience finds themselves inside both the story and the spectacle.
