I Attended A Midsummer Night s Dream At Alley Theatre Essay

I attended A MidSummer Night’s Dream at Alley Theatre on 10/22/16. The play was written by William Shakespeare directed by Gregory Boyd and Dean R. Gladden. This play falls into the category of comedy, more specifically a romantic satirical comedy. You could even say its presentational, in the final scene during Bottom’s play a workman threw a plush dog into the audience and ran up to the person who caught it eager to get it back. This play was absolutely fantastic I enjoyed it far more than expected, A MidSummer Night’s Dream was mysterious,whimsical and humorous. I would see this play again in a heartbeat, I liked it because the set and props were so simple it really made the actors, costumes and story stand out. Prior to this play I had attended Hamlet in Houston but I was in elementary school. I don’t remember what the play was actually about but I remember liking it so you could say my first theatre going experience was a positive one. A couple of we eks ago I had taken a quiz to find out what Shakespeare play I would most enjoy and this is the one that came out. I typed it in only to find out that it s showing at Alley Theatre in Houston. I was curious going into this play I didn t quite know what to expect all I knew at this point was it was a comedy in the woods with fairies. But, wow I was completely blown away by the skill there people possess to make me feel like it was real life even though the play was clearly fictional, it was all so natural and real.
