by Kristen Morale on August 14, 2018 in Off-Off-Broadway Directed by Dan Hasse and in association with the Access Theater, which has given rise to youthful, unique productions for the last twenty-six years, A Midsummer Night's Dream is the most fun you will have at any Shakespearean production for an endless number of reasons.

A strange connection here, a misunderstood relationship there, the question of love and gender, robotic partners, and pretty much anything that leaves you wondering what the hell is really going on make up some of his stories. For audience members, there is always one play that stands out the most, and usually you hear them talking about it on the way out. 'He should have just loved her,' said one older man after one of his shows last March. 'So what if he wasn't sure that she was a man or a woman.' People have vastly wide opinions about the material. But if the idea is to create a dialogue, S. Karlan's play do just that. (more...)  THE BLOODY DEED OF 1857 Returns To Colonnade Row For Limited Fall Run
