A Midsummer
Night's Dream
 “Two
years ago the Marin Shakespeare Company established
itself as a major player in West Coast summer Shakespeare
with a smash hit Dream featuring acrobat/clowns
from San Francisco’s New Pickle Circus. This summer,
artistic director Robert Currier is reprising his
exuberantly funny production, with Diane Wasnak
and Jeff Raz, 1994’s two standout stars, returning
as Puck and Bottom….Wasnak embodies the character
with so much feral grace and impish humor that she
makes her Puck seem the most ideal conception imaginable….Wasnak
induces nonstop pleasure and almost constant laughter.
Raz, with whom she does some acrobatic tricks during
the Pyramus-and-Thisbe sequence, is also a first-class
acrobat/clown….sparkling, garlanded grotto set….appropriately
dreamy music.”
Matthew Surrence, Back Stage West
“Marin Shakespeare Company’s revival of its award-winning
1994 production of A Midsummer Night’s Dream
is a gem. Subtlety has been added to excellence….Diane
Wasnak’s Puck is perfect….The cast is excellent….Even
if you saw the 1994 production, don’t miss this one.”
Bess Davoren, Tiburon Ark
“Marin Shakespeare Company’s version of this famous
play is anything but traditional ….The high-energy
production of A Midsummer Night’s Dream is
a potpourri of acrobatics, juggling and playful choreography,
and is performed with a light-hearted comedic style.”
