BWW Review: A MIDSUMMER NIGHT'S DREAM at The Gamm Theatre
by John McDaid - May 17, 2022
Shakespeare warns early in the first act of Midsummer Night's Dream that 'the course of true love never did run smooth.' In that warning lies the comedic core of the show, and the Gamm Theatre delivers a visually stunning, delightfully playful production that fully captures the Bard's vision. It's a thoroughly enjoyable, punchy take on the classic.

Wade, as it seems poised to do. The war in Ukraine rages on. And we still haven't found a way to halt catastrophic climate change. We - Rhode Islanders, Americans, homo sapiens - are tired and sad.
