Out in Jersey loves David Foubert’s Bottom in “Midwinter Night’s Dream”at STNJ

An incredibly warm review has come in from the good folks at Out in Jersey, and they had lovely things to say about David Foubert’s interpretation of the iconic weaver-turned-donkey Nick Bottom in this Shakespearean classic reimagined for a winter setting:

“All right, here it is: The Shakespeare Theatre of New Jersey’s production of A Midwinter Night’s Dream is the funniest damn Dream I’ve ever seen!

…”The familiar tale of mismatched lovers, lunatic amateur actors, and mischievous fairies is brought to life by a marvelous troupe of farceurs and comics. Chief among these is David Foubert’s over-the-top Nick Bottom, an ass of a man whose head is conjured into that of an ass by Billie Wyatt’s giggling, prancing Puck.”

Allen Neuner, Out in Jersey, ““A Midwinter Night’s Dream” is a raucous, bawdy adaptation of Shakespeare”, Dec 14 2023
