A Midsummer Night's Dream (Shakespeare in the Square)

See it if You enjoy small talented casts that play multiple roles and switch between them effortlessly. Good music, interesting space and use of food.

Don't see it if You are hard of hearing, the acoustics aren't great and they don't always project. Sometimes the use of food was unmotivated and confusing.

Also I was intrigues by the idea of using food. Sometimes the use was truly brilliant and fun. Other times it made no sense and seemed to just be there for no other reason than, "oooh, look at this interesting blue goop"... Read more Read less

See it if You enjoy small companies performing Shakespeare in a fun different way. They’ll worked very hard and there was some talent there.

Don't see it if A little too long, confusing, messy and very hot in the room. I liked the sense of fun though.

See it if You love little companies that work on low budgets & love Shakespeare well-done. Very fine cast, each in many roles. Best Bottom!

Don't see it if Can't think of a single reason not to, unless you hate Shakespeare or up-and-coming actors with great skill.

Also Constantine Malahias (Demetrius, Ass & Robin Starveling) is the best Bottom I have EVER seen, bar none. With no additional props or costuming, he replicated an entirely believable ass, body & soul. In addition to his wonderful Demetrius & Robin. Superb young actor, one among many here.... Read more Read less
