A Midsummer Night's Dream in Gotham      
Presented in English   
Church Hill Theatre, Edinburgh, Scotland, as part of the Edinburgh Festival Fringe
August 5-10, 2016

“Shakespeare's play with an urban vibe; fairyland is Gotham. Oberon and Theseus are Batman and Bruce Wayne. Who is Puck? Why, Robin, of course! Come see this old favourite with a new twist.” --description from the Fringe Programme

American High School Theatre Festival         

Selected Review:
BroadwayBaby review (3 stars): "exactly what it says on the tin. It’s A Midsummer Night’s Dream but with Batman. Why? That’s not readily apparent but who cares? It has Batman." "There’s no real reason for this production to exist, besides Batman, but it is very fun. In fact, it’s a fairly enjoyable high-school production of Shakespeare’s original, albeit with words like ‘cell phone’, ‘Gotham’ and ‘Selina Kyle’ replacing words in the original meter. This does occasionally jar. Instead of being lost in the ‘wood’, the protagonists are lost in the ‘hood’. No, really. Also, for reasons that don’t quite gel with the original play, Batman and Robin hang around Gotham Junkyard and mess with these kids, because Shakespeare. And Batman." "It’s not a bad way of tricking a comic-book fan into seeing some Shakespeare, and it’s not a bad production of A Midsummer Night’s Dream. With Batman. Indeed, for some, that might be enough."
