This Great Lakes Theater production of William Shakespeare’s *A Midsummer
Night’s Dream *should tempt even jaded, experienced Shakespeare lovers into
venturing into Oberon’s magic realm once again. Luck, love, and acting
triumph in this wonder world.

Director Sara Bruner and her excellent accomplices (cast and crew all) wove
soap opera (love/hate relationships) with comic farce (adventures in the
woods) to create a refreshing romp into a world that never was.

Great Lakes chose a new take on Shakespeare’s classic, this one translated
by Jeff Whitty (who wrote *Avenue Q*). Whitty’s version neither mangles the
original nor turns it into a word circus. The result? Raucous laughs.
