- Reviews
- Peter Kirwan at: http://bloggingshakespeare.com/year-of-shakespeare-a-midsummer-nights-dream-as-you-like-it. Kirwan concludes his review - "Capturing the spirit of Dream, this collage of stunning visual images, extraordinary physical performances, evocative music and a dancing dog ultimately exposed the art of storytelling itself. Its studied artlessness belied the detailed craft on display in a deliberate strategy, designed to best show the production’s heart in an evocation of love and laughter".
