Shakespeare’s Blackfriars Stage Company has returned to the Centenary College campus for its annual dramatic rumpus, says Patty Roberts. People I've talked to about opening night were delighted at the work. What's open? Go to the phone and get anything that's left, I'd say.

The Thur night Midsummer's was sparkling and sensual. Even explicit at times, but in good fun. Some of the costumes are wilder, more evocative this year.
The players remain attuned to the audience, plucking humor from audience reactions, esp the front-row people. It's the easiest 2-hour (no intermission) Shakespeare I can imagine.
