A Midsummer Night's Dream at Edith Wharton's Mount
Shakespeare & Co. ends its long Berkshires run with a whimsical outdoor production in Lenox Massachusetts using pickup trucks and ruder mechanics as modern counterparts to the play's fairy court. Tina Packer notes mixed feelings about leaving The Mount, as the company moves toward a new 428 seat theater after purchasing a nearby former boarding school for 4.1 million dollars and continuing a $35 million restoration aided by a 2.9 million grant from the National Park Service.
