From the beginning with the Shakespearian way we were asked to turn off our phones to the final curtain call I was entertained. Never have I laughed so hard and so often while watching a play.The cast was exceptional and the innovative way props were used outstanding. Kudos!
It was so much fun I told my boyfriend who I went with last night that I was going again and taking my daughter and son in law, He said he wanted to see if again too!

From the setting amidst the trees, to the "Grove Talk" lectureWritten on Oct 07 2009
prior to the show, to the breaking out into modern song, we just loved it.
The modernization/interpretation made it very accessible and it seemed
as if I was more attune to the old English than usual. I'm not sure what a
Shakespeare purist may think but this version was pure pleasure.

A beautifully and thoughtfully worked out production. Even the heights of the women were in sync with the script! And the many references to the moon were enriched by the large full moon at the top of the gigantic set.Written on Sep 18 2009
A rare treat.

Bottom and the lovers gave great performances. But the re-writing stank and the production as a whole was terrible.Written on Sep 17 2009
