Just saw Dream yesterday and McSweeney has done it again. He is a master when directing both physical and verbal comedy. I’ve been a subscriber for about 12 years and don’t know when a play has truly enchanted me this much…and I use the word “enchanted” in its literal meaning. The play was just too wondeful for me to even know how to comment on it except to say that no one should think they will be seeing “another” production of Dream.No one has seen a production like this.

I hope Mr. McSweeney reads all the kudos he is getting about the skill he showed keeping all three circus rings going well at the same time!
