“An audacious production. Director Jennifer Williams has transferred Shakespeare’s romp in the woods to a post-apocalyptic landscape strewn with discarded remnants of the former civilization. Television monitors and Yee Eun Nam’s backdrop projection display the trees, flowers and global views that once were part of the milieu. In the tradition of Peter Brook’s famous Royal Shakespeare production of Shakespeare’s play, the singers playing mortals wear modern dress. Williams’ vision shapes the many characters’ personalities with a distinctive touch and a sure sense of theatricality.”
