The New York Times says A MIDSUMMER NIGHT’S DREAM is “ingenious… entertaining… and more,” that “it makes a fascinating choice for Theater By The Blind” and that “perhaps the most delightful extra layer of meaning in the production at the Barrow Group Theater comes... from the presence of a wheelchair onstage… The cast members have no trouble keeping pace with the demands of the production: just six actors play all the parts… all handling the dialogue deftly… It’s fun watching the cast members alternate between being in the play-within-a-play and being part of its audience.”
