First of all, thanks for letting us enjoy this wonderful performance. I have seen the SSE perform two times previously, each time it gets better. I don't know if it's the acting, directing, Shakespeare's plays, or the style in witch they are done that makes these performances so great. I have a feeling that it is a combination of all of these. The audience interaction with the players makes ones theatrical experience more exciting, combined with the feeling that this is how it actually was in Sheakspear's day, makes for a superb outing. All of these things are brought together through excellent acting and directing choices by a skilled group of individuals who make up the SSE.

Another noteworthy performance is that of the Jackass and Titania, they played each other up well. The Jackass interacting with the fairies was quite classic. I enjoyed how !
In conclusion, I feel that through SSE's style and content they are able to bring in many people who normally wouldn't get to experience Sir William Shakespeare's masterpieces. They do this by incorporating modern and nostalgic things into the play without taking away from the original work. A Midsummer Night Dr
