Celebrate the 2013 "Season of Magic and Mayhem" with the Baltimore Shakespeare Factory. Earlier this season, the company's enactment of "Romeo and Juliet" was named a top show to see in the Maryland Theatre Guide. The company continues to entertain with outdoor performances at the beautiful meadow at the Johns Hopkins Evergreen Museum & Library. "Hamlet," the classic tale of murder, revenge and insanity, is featured in July while the fantasy, "A Midsummer Night's Dream," occurs in August. Each play will also host a one-weekend indoor performance at the Great Hall Theatre at St. Mary's in Hampden, which will also host the company's portrayal of "The Tempest" in November.
