A rendition of a classic play in Bucks County has been postponed due to unsafe air conditions in and around the area.

As part of the Pennsylvania Shakespeare Festival, a performance of William Shakespeare’s “A Midsummer Night’s Dream”, which was set to be held at the Bucks County Courthouse in Doylestown, has been postponed. This is due to the dangerous air conditions caused by a series of wildfires in Canada, the smoke from which has made its way to Pennsylvania.

“Due to air quality conditions, today’s performance of A Midsummer Night’s Dream at Bucks County Courthouse Lawn is postponed. New date and time to be announced.”

Based in Center Valley, the theater organization plans to host renditions of the Bard’s works across the state.

Also, allow me to write in the first person for a moment: I am fully aware that the titled used in this article comes the opening scene in “Macbeth”, but I felt the words of the Weird Sisters related better to this story than anything that Theseus or Hippolyta had to say on the matter.

So, before you tell me to “take pains” and “be perfect”, let me quote “As You Like It”, when Orlando says to Jacques “I do desire we may be better strangers.”
