A Midsummer Night's Dream Review
Wednesday July 16, 2008
I can't say being English gives me an instant understanding of Shakespeare's plays so I chose to see this year's "re-imagined" children's performance of A Midsummer Night's Dream aimed at everyone aged 6 and over. And I'm glad I did as this was fantastic.
I didn't know the story(!) so I simply read the synopsis in the theater program and that gave me enough to follow what was happening, along with the excellent storyteller, Dale Superville. Superville, whose main character was Bottom, was the star of the show. He has an amazing talent for entertaining and his comedy style is popular with children and adults. His description of who loves who at the start of the play with hilarious. And, let's be honest, what child wouldn't enjoy a play with a character called Bottom?!
