Midsummer in autumn

The Davis Shakespeare Festival’s A Midsummer Night’s Dream is the best rendition of this classic Shakespeare comedy seen hereabouts in years. The story is moved to Athens, California—a fictional university town brimming with romantically inclined 20-somethings on bicycles, falling in and out of love (Sound familiar?). The show, which runs through October 15, boasts solid concept and execution, rendered with charm and wit by director Rob Salas.
