Barking Mad……August 15th Afternoon show reviews by Andrew Muir
Later Note: I saw ‘Dream’ again on its last performance and discovered that Puck
went up the tree half an hour before the start and patiently waited on his entrance
from there. I never noticed him ascending and neither, apparently, did anyone else.
Also, on this occasion, the ‘mechanicals’ plot’ did not seem swamped by other two
groupings. Perhaps there is room for all three centres of attention even in short
productions, after all. The ending at night was spectacular, much more ‘faery’ than
in sunligt.
Also, here is Lydia Fallon’s review from The Cambridge Evening News. Don’t forget
to come back to this site after reading it!
