Sure to hook any student new to Shakespeare and to convert any formerly reluctant Shakespeare student! A relentless and loving adaptation of Shakespeare’s A Midsummer Night’s Dream, Striding Lion InterArts Workshop’s Ill Met By Moonlight lives and breathes in the space created where the human and fairy worlds collide. This introduction to the most delightful and beloved of Shakespeare’s plays is a rocking, bumping, swaggering, athletic musical “of another sort.”

What the Critics had to say about Striding Lion’s production of Ill Met By Moonlight in March of 2004:

"Striding Lion's Ill Met By Moonlight, directed by artistic director Amanda Berg Wilson and choreographed by artistic director Annie Arnoult Beserra, shines during its sinuous dance segments and athetic fight sequences" and "open[ing] with a lovely, mournful danced prelude... gives the play's theme of the transformations wrought by love an unexpected emotional jolt." --Kerry Reid, Chicago Reader

Allison Kurtz is an "amazingly athletic, uninhibited Puck" and "charismatic Matt Reed is a natural for the role, and could walk into the part in any version of Shakespeare's play."
--Beverly Friend of Lerner News Services
