The “re-seasoned” production of “Midwinter Night’s Dream” at Shakespeare Theatre of New Jersey is bringing laughter and joy to families and theatre lovers across New Jersey, and a front-page review has come in celebrating David’s performance as Nick Bottom. You can catch all of his antics through December 31 – visit ShakespeareNJ.org for tickets and information.
“To paraphrase that great Shakespearean scholar Wayne Gretzky, watch where Puck is going to be.
That’s how swiftly Billie Wyatt skates and dances and bounds across the stage. This mischievous bundle of gleeful abandon really should be named Blur. A five-year STNJ veteran (The Rose Tattoo, The Metromaniacs, A Child’s Christmas in Wales), Wyatt lights up every scene she is in; her only rival on the laugh meter is David Foubert as Nick Bottom.
Foubert’s decade with the company includes Much Ado About Nothing, The Winter’s Tale and The Complete Works of William Shakespeare (Abridged).
SPOILER ALERT!
Foubert’s “death” scene in the play-within-the-play begs for a DVD at the merch table. You’ll want to watch it over and over.
