They put Shakespeare Tavern

of downtown Atlanta in the shade. We have seen three quite acceptable

and dramatic productions, more costly, but none so real or amazingly humorous

as Offshoot's Shakespeare. We were mesmerized by the magical, mysterious

revelry of dreams, hand-to-hand combat and romance, imaginatively enacted.

If you live in Fayetteville

for 10 years or more, you think of our community as appreciative of artistic

culture and drama. All of that was obviously present in Sunday's third

performance of "Midsummer Night's Dream." Even not having read

the synopsis or the whole play, it is totally awesome to feel lifted in

spirit and caught up in the lifelike conversation of the genius of Shakespeare.

To see through the eyes of a mostly youthful, committed cast, you will

discover genius at work before your eyes.

Two more weekends to take your

family and friends: July 19, 20, 21 and July 26, 27, 28.
