David Foubert was honored to return to Shakespeare Theatre of New Jersey in the beloved comedic role of Bottom for Bonne Monte’s final show in her re-seasoned “Midwinter Night’s Dream” – and is delighted to learn that the production has been named by one critic as the top New Jersey production of 2023, alongside productions from well-known theaters like Paper Mill Playhouse and McCarter Theater and a broad range of other well-deserving theaters.
Any list of this size means a great deal of time and effort supporting and promoting the arts – thank you to the folks at NJ Arts for continuing to support the art form of live theater in the region!
“1. “A Midwinter Night’s Dream,” Shakespeare Theatre at Drew University, Madison. “A Midsummer Night’s Dream” transferred to a wintertime setting, with some daring and well-executed physical humor and a fresh, frosty look. This inspired production serves as a fitting finale for Bonnie J. Monte, who is stepping down from her position of artistic director after more than three decades (she co-wrote this adaptation). But it also augurs well for the institution’s future, as it was directed by Brian B. Crowe, who will take over as artistic director next year.”
