Middle Class Dream of a Summer's Night is an adaptation of Shakespeare's A Midsummer Night's Dream, reimagined through the lens of India's middle-class society. This production explores how love, often blind and manipulated by external forces, leads to chaos and confusion—echoing both Shakespeare's original themes and the complexities of modern life. By infusing the play with Indian accents, local dialects, and folk music, we create a unique blend of humor, social commentary, and political undertones.

The vibrant energy of Indian weddings and the satire on contemporary politics allow the story to feel both timeless and fresh. This adaptation showcases how love and societal pressures interact, creating both comedy and reflection in a world where misunderstandings abound.

Directing this play has been a roller coaster of fun and introspection, where tradition meets modernity, and the audience is invited to reflect on the chaos that surrounds us.
