Reviews

Midsommer Flight’s returning fare for the holidays is perhaps the most delightful Shakespeare I’ve been privy to, made only more magical by the panoramic walk up through the Lincoln Park Zoo lights and the oversized winter decorations hanging above the oversized fauna under the Conservatory’s oversized glass domes. –PerformInk

“…the festive mood sets a playful tone that continues throughout this highly enjoyable and ambitious production.” –Chicagoland Musical Theatre

“Putting a ready cast of 14 through paces as fresh as youth can make them, Dylan S. Roberts keeps fluid and supple Shakespeare’s self-consciously silly heartbreak. –Stage and Cinema

Reader Recommended! – Chicago Reader
