Kennelly review of A Midsummer Night's Dream at Great Lakes Theater
by Laura Kennelly 08 Oct '24

08 Oct '24

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. For more go to https://coolcleveland.com/2024/10/theater-review-a-midsummer-nights-dream-g…

Josephine's champion even beyond the grave. *If interested in submitting, please send* *a headshot, resume, and outline of conflicts/availability for the next 3 weeks to mike.glavan(a)gmail.com <mike.glavan(a)gmail.com>*.
