Moira MacDonald Seattle Times 04/28/2016
Taymor's "Dream" is, in Bottom's words, a most rare vision. It flickers before us almost too quickly, passing by "swift as a shadow, short as any dream." Go to Full Review Liam Lacey Globe and Mail 06/19/2015
3.5/4
Julie Taymor's off-the-stage filmed production of A Midsummer Night's Dream has a phantasmagoric visual fluidity that emphasizes the play's uncanny unsettling nature more than its carnival silliness. Go to Full Review David Rooney The Hollywood Reporter 06/18/2015

Hyper-flexible theater star Kathryn Hunter as Puck is a marvel. Go to Full Review Read all reviews

andy p @RT92836149 06/08/2019 a visual treat - great cinematography! See more 07/23/2015 This is a MUST SEE! The direction, the set, the costumes, the choreography is art at its finest. Max Casella's performance is perfection. Only weakness is a few of the actors are hard to understand, but this is not enough to dampen my enthusiasm for this exquisite production. See more 06/28/2015 Magnificent, wonderful, magical. See it! See more 06/23/2015 Its the best bottom I've ever seen :-) I LOVED IT. a grab bag of ideas. Shadow theatre, lion king puppetry, Indian theatre, kabuki, Aboriginal music. The Wonderful David Harewood gets blacked up to wondrous effect. theatre with all the strings showing.
