Critic's Pick
LOVERS, FAIRIES, AND THE HEAD OF AN ASS
by Megan O'Neil
One of Shakespeare's most popular and oft-performed plays, A Midsummer Night's Dream is a lighthearted romantic comedy that blurs the line between fantasy and reality. In an Athenian forest, forbidden lovers, quarreling fairies and a group of slow-witted laborers all become the foils of the mischievous imp Puck and his magical love potion. Before the night's over, a laborer is given the head of a donkey, the fairy queen falls in love with him, and the humans' love triangle becomes a giant knot. But by morning, everyone is blessed with a happy ending, and the lovers are allowed to marry. Huzzah! Performances at 8 p.m. Friday and 2 and 8 p.m. Saturday at the Hilberry Theatre, 4743 Cass Ave., Detroit; 313-577-2972; the play continues in rotation through Jan. 29; visit hilberry.com for show dates.
