over the past few years i have seen
- hamlet in nazi germany (this was the one with the ghost on stilts and the moat)
- taming of the shew in boston's north end (not that i saw it there, that was where it was set)(bonus--petruchio takes kate away to revere beach)
- and now, last night, what i can only describe as midsummer night's dream in space. i didn't get a program, so i can't really verify what the artistic vision was. but the athenians were dressed in lab coats and the fairies looked like alien drag queens. the players looked like park rangers. puck look like he'd spent too long at mystic tan.
bonus--i saw a guy wearing a shirt that said "shakesepeare hates your emo poetry"
