Reviews

Kerry Reid of the Chicago Tribune - *** out of ****

“Hayley Rice's staging for First Folio Theatre oozes rock-and-roll swagger" and that "...the payoff in the second act delivers in a pretty big way" 

Edge Media Network

“It's clear that Rice and her actors are having tremendous fun with her vision.  The blocking is playful and just the right amount of over-the-top to find the sparkling comedy in every line of dialogue.”

ChicagoCritic.com

“Rice's Midsummer offers upt he classic humor of magically-influenced lovers' spats and good bad acting in a way that is accessible to newcomers and long-time Shakespeare fans alike.”

BuzzNews Chicago

“A fascinating production that has just the right amount of laughs, fantasy, and trickery, First Folio's A Midsummer Night's Dream is a memorable summer even that keenly interprets Shakespeare for today's audience thanks to its outstanding direction and role execution by this talented cast.”
