Madison Shakespeare Company presented a full-length production of Christopher Marlowe’s supernatural romantic tragedy as the first entry in Madison Children’s Museum’s Drama In the Wonderground series: Dido, Queen of Carthage. Directed by Cassie Hankins and Jason Compton with performances June 28-30, 2024.
Unbeknownst to Dido, her heart is no longer her own. It is merely one front in an ongoing war between the gods Juno, Jupiter, and Venus. Trojan survivors led by Aeneas wash onto Carthage shores, and Venus will sacrifice anything, including Dido’s free will, to keep her son safe.
