Visual Text <em>A Midwinter’s Nightmare</em> is a full-length musical based on the relationships between the fairies and goblins from Shakespeare’s <em>A Midsummer Night’s Dream</em>. Over time, the fairies and goblins have had to relocate, and now find themselves under modern-day New York City. Four band mates are headed to a gig when they are way-laid by Robin Goodfellow, Goblin King of the Underworld, to play for his wedding feast. Robin calls on Oberon, King of the Fairies, to make the love potion, like one he made before, that will win the heart of his lady goblin love. These actions reignite a nearly centuries-old argument between Oberon and Titania, Queen of the Fairies, that threatens to freeze everyone in an unending winter’s night.
