Shakespeare in the American Dust Bowl
By Liz Bulkley on Friday, September 29, 2006.
William Shakespeare's "A Midsummer Night's Dream" is one of the most fanciful comedies ever written. It takes place in a forest and has been restaged against the backdrop of the American Dust Bowl during the depression of the 1930's. The play will be performed this weekend at Dartmouth's Hopkins Center. We'll talk with director Anne Bogart of the SITI Company in New York about her unconventional adaptation, and with Dartmouth Shakespeare Professor Lynda Boose about the proliferation of Shakespeare's works in non-traditional settings.
