A Midsummer Night's Dream Review

" {The Mechanicals} performances are wonderfully subtle and broad- stroked at the same time. They may represent through the play they perform the personification of romantic tragedy but they themselves could not be tragic even if one of their party should be carried off and transformed into an ass, hee-haw and all."
