​Yet the genius of this production is that it punches through the story's dusty surface and reveals the currents of hate, love and lust that ripple beneath.

​A desire to tell stories and a joy for working with actors might explain some parts of Deanʼs madness. Ambition might be the third pole in her tent of insanity. The fourth is deeper and more profound still: Asae Dean loves William Shakespeare.

​The play’s achievement, as well as the production’s, is to make such erratic behavior something we turn to rather than away from, and to make May and Eddie feel human rather than monstrous. What could be merely an evening long argument against heterosexual unions is instead a love story, just not the kind you think you’d ever be in yourself.

Director Asae Dean does a superb job of keeping the comedy flowing smoothly. The performance never seems rushed but each scene transitions easily into the next. This well­ paced, lively production works especially well in the park setting. Anyone who likes Shakespeare in the sunshine, will find much to enjoy here.
