Reviews

“Love thoughts lie rich when canopied with bowers,” says Duke Orsino, Illyria’s resident voluptuary, and few could disagree after taking in Midsommer Flight’s Twelfth Night at the Lincoln Park Conservatory, where big-finned palms and gadding vines nod you all the way to your seat. The sumptuous garden atmosphere bleeds into the play, which is well acted and endearingly staged by director Beth Wolf. Nick Loumos is an excellent, princely Orsino; Meredith Ernst is also wonderful as the humble Viola, in disguise as his page boy.” Critic’s Choice. —Chicago Reader

“…consistently engaging and hilarious production of Twelfth Night. The whimsy starts immediately and only increases as the actors and musicians move you through the hijinks of the residents of Illyria. … Midsommer Flight has proven, once again, that Shakespeare’s plays can be enjoyed by everyone. During this production, children in the audience were genuinely laughing and having fun.” —Picture This Post
