“All right, here it is: The Shakespeare Theatre of New Jersey\u2019s production of\u00a0A Midwinter Night\u2019s Dream<\/em>\u00a0is the funniest damn\u00a0Dream<\/em>\u00a0I\u2019ve ever seen!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

…”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\u2019s over-the-top Nick Bottom, an ass of a man whose head is conjured into that of an ass by Billie Wyatt\u2019s giggling, prancing Puck.”<\/p>\nAllen Neuner, Out in Jersey, “\u201cA Midwinter Night\u2019s Dream\u201d is a raucous, bawdy adaptation of Shakespeare”, Dec 14 2023<\/a><\/cite><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n
