by Roy Berko - Nov 4, 2025

Review: NOISES OFF at Great Lakes Theater Festival
by Roy Berko - May 4, 2025

Two aspects are important in understanding why people often react diametrically to the play.   First is that it is a British farce.  It is not intended to carry a social message.  It is not a Shakespeare drama or tragedy.

Review: A MIDSUMMER NIGHT'S DREAM at GREAT LAKES THEATER
by Roy Berko - Oct 9, 2024

William Shakespeare is considered by many to be the greatest Western world playwright of all times.  In spite of this, many are reluctant to see a production of his plays.  Why the hesitance?  It is perceived that language he used, the format of the speeches, and the material he writes of, is too abstract or complicated to just “sit back, enjoy and understand.”

Review: THE MERRY WIVES OF WINDSOR at GREAT LAKES THEATER
by Roy Berko - Mar 25, 2024

Sir John Falstaff is at it again!  Yes, the chubby delightful bumbler, who was in the Bard’s HENRY IV, Parts 1 and 2, is now lighting up the stage in Great Lakes Theater’s THE MERRY WIVES OF WINDSOR, thanks to Elizabeth I.  The Queen was so infatuated with the character that, according to rumor, she asked Shakespeare to write another play with Falstaff, this time depicting the rogue in love.
