I was truly wowed by this production. I have never seen a Midsummer like it, and I dont think I will for a long time. Joanna Settle has a "rare vision," as Bottom would say, in her direction of this piece, and she executes extremely well. The score has lived up to the hype--Stews music is interesting in the context of Shakespeare, and he shows why hes such a versatile composer and winner of a Tony. Andrew Liebermans set is very imaginative and tastefully molded to the landscape of the park; the set is a work of art on its own. Its a wonder how Adam Silvermans lighting scheme can do so much for the piece with such a simple set up. I am strongly considering going over to Greenwich to see it again it was that good. And to top it off: its free! I really wonder how this company can produce such high quality theater without charging admission. Bravo to Shakespeare on the Sound!
