Arts Tangle in the craziness of A Midsummer Night's Dream
Posted By Perry Tannenbaum on Sat, Aug 11, 2012 at 12:00 PM
Confirming its volatile reputation — now on the mend with a fine production of Brecht's Antigone last month — Shakespeare Carolina will have a go at the Bard's A Midsummer Night's Dream with true ass-backwards elan. Company founder Chris O'Neill, who normally directs every ShakesCar presentation in Charlotte or Rock Hill, will discard the director's chair and don the donkey's head for this crowd-pleasing comedy, playing the garrulous Bottom opposite Dennis DeJesus's mischievous Puck.
All will end well and Jack shall have Jill at the end, but in between, O'Neill and guest director David Wohl are promising a crazy take on the bosky kingdom of Oberon and Titania that will rock your world. $10-$15. Sat., Aug. 11, 8 p.m., Sun., Aug. 12, 3 p.m. Winthrop University's Johnson Theatre, 115 Johnson Hall. 803-323-2287. www.winthrop.edu/cvpa/theatredance/.
