NYC: Theater By The Blind presents A MIDSUMMER NIGHT'S DREAM by William Shakespeare
The Company:
George Ashiotis, Jon Levenson, Ann Marie Morelli,
Erin O'Leary, Andrew Rein, Nicholas Viselli
Director - Ike Schambelan; Sets - Merope Vachlioti; Costumes - Brad L. Scoggins; Lighting - Bert Scott; Stage Manager - Francis Eric Montesa
A MIDSUMMER NIGHT'S DREAM is a magical show - funny, fast and joyous. Our production is ultra faithful to Shakespeare's rules yet thoroughly modern. As The Times said of last season's Hamlet, the "actors show signs of having actually analyzed Shakespeare's language... the audience can understand the meaning of every word" and the show is "playful, punchy and contemporary."
Midsummer runs 90 minutes, has 9 songs and takes 6 actors who each play an Athenian, a "rude mechanical" and a fairy. The whole troupe does the play-within-a-play as Shakespeare intended, snapping the piece into focus.
"An extraordinary troupe designed to defy expectations." - The New York Times "One of the most enjoyable companies in the country." - The New York Post
"Long purveyors of quality drama." - The Village Voice
