A Midsummer night’s dream, Rubbish Shakespeare

Runaways, Fairies, Goblins, Water Pistols?!? Look out, it’s Rubbish Shakespeare

Four idiots wearing bed sheets for togas, with rubbish props, silly wigs, and a ladder, attempt to perform A Midsummer Night’s Dream in an hour - and fail… with hilarious results.
