Great writing, Ambitious

See it if Bit of a swing and a miss - they're trying to do something new (audience chooses who plays what role, though I think it was decided already)

Don't see it if It's...fine. It's well enough acted and staged, but you've seen better Midsummers. splitting the woods/mechanicals scenes didn't work for me

Disappointing, Quirky, Confusing

See it if I was looking forward to a creative take on this well-known Bard’s Play. Alas, it has an uneven casts and not too interesting take on it.

Don't see it if If you don’t know the story of the play, it’ll be pretty confusing to grasp what the heck is going on?!

Dizzying, Confusing, Entertaining, Quirky, Disappointing

See it if you would enjoy a new take on the Bard's play - this one with some local references and a hard working troupe. Interesting light projections

Don't see it if you want an understandable version of MND. This is a liberal interpretation that will leave anyone without complete grasp of this play lost.

Fluffy, Slow, Quirky, Confusing, Ambitious

See it if You want to support a young, enthusiastic company tackle Midsummer w/some new ideas. You're very familiar w/Midsummer.

Don't see it if You want Midsummer performed closer to the actual text: scenes are jumbled & lines are swapped around for no reason made clear. Read more

Insipid, Slow, Disappointing, Banal, Ambitious

See it if you have to see any new production of Shakespeare; you have a friend in the cast; you like the idea of a game-show version of Shakespeare

Don't see it if you're a Shakespeare purist; you expect a professional play to feature uniformly excellent professional acting. Read more

Not much fun, Mostly painless

See it if you are interested in every Shakespeare adaptation you can find.

Don't see it if you are looking for anything near traditional Shakespeare. Read more
