A Midsummer Night’s Clusterfuck
If you’re a Shakespeare virgin as either an actor or an audience member, A Midsummer Night’s Dream is the ideal place to start. The language is not intimidating or difficult, and it’s so filled with simple mischief and delight that it’s as close to foolproof as any play ever written. I’ve seen amateur productions of Midsummer that were at least winningly buoyant, and some were even unforgettable, maybe because it’s partly conceived as a send-up of amateur players. And now I’ve seen something I never thought I’d see, a star-studded production of Midsummer at Classic Stage (through May 20) that turns this most charming and actable of all Shakespeare plays into a disaster area of poor ideas and incoherent intentions, an extended agony of directorial and design malfeasance.

An etiquette lesson

2012-05-16T00:01:03Z

Have you ever felt like strangling one of those loud-mouthed cell phone users who seem to sit near you in a restaurant or other place and then shares their private call with you?

Here’s a solution provided by a commuter on how to combat this display of bad manners.

After a very busy day, this woman settled down in her seat and closed her eyes as the train departed Montreal for Hudson.

As the train rolled out of the station, the guy sitting next to her pulled out his cell phone and started talking in a loud voice: “Hi sweetheart it’s Eric. I’m on the train... Yes, I know it’s the 6:30 and not the 4:30 but I had a long meeting... No, honey, not with that floozie from the accounts office, with the boss... No sweetheart, you’re the only one in my life... Yes, I’m sure, cross my heart..." and so forth.

Fifteen minutes later, he was still talking loudly. So our resourceful commuter - obviously angered by his continuous conversation - yelled at the top of her voice, ”Hey, Eric, turn that stupid phone off and come back to bed!”
