A classic fairytale about love and magic!
After a six-year hiatus, ESP is thrilled to return to the
immortal words of the Bard with an exciting production of his

fairies, and one mischievous little sprite all converge in the
woods by moonlight. “The course of true love never did run
smooth—”.

Award winning production of Metamorphoses comes another
magical tale of love and adventure!
