NEW YORK—What better way to spend a midsummer night than to experience an enchanting performance of William Shakespeare’s “A Midsummer Night’s Dream,” helmed by director Lear deBessonet, courtesy of Public Theater’s Free Shakespeare in the Park.
A marvelous concoction from Shakespeare’s fertile imagination, “Dream” features three different sets of individuals—aristocrats, modest workmen, and fantastical fairies—presented in turn, then melded into interrelationships. It’s often difficult to discern where reality ends and fantasy begins. And it’s all about love.
Music plays a big part in enhancing the production.
