“It’s a delight from beginning to end!
Victoria Weisfeld, Front Row Center, Dec 11, 2023
…”You’ll recall that a group of the city’s tradesmen forms the cast of a misguided play about star-crossed lovers Pyramus and Thisbe, which they want to perform for the wedding of Theseus and Hippolyta. I’ve seen productions in which that play-within-a-play grows tiresome, but this version was so cleverly dramatized and so well acted, I enjoyed every minute. Kudos to Jeffrey Marc Alkins (Peter Quince/playwright/Flake), Darin F. Earl II (Starveling/Sugarplum), James Frances Egbert (Tom Snout/Wall/Snowball), David Foubert (Nick Bottom, Pyramus, Donkey), Keith Hale (Francis Flute/Thisbe/Mistletoe) and Eric Hoffman (Egeus/Lion/Snug). As the “lovers,” Hale and Foubert displayed genius comic timing.”
