A Midsummer Night's Dream by William Shakespeare

 A Midsummer Night's Dream, by William Shakespeare

One of Shakespeare's most-performed plays, A Midsummer Night's Dream is an amusing farce.   It is not one of my favorites, but it is very light and amusing and inoffensive.  I found the production of the parts about the fairies to be particularly well done.  I also thought Bruce Dow was incredible as Bottom; he was the perfect actor for that role, and he played it wonderfully well.  I also really enjoyed Adam Green as Puck.  All in all, it was a light, amusing evening at the Shakespeare Theater.
