MIDSUMMER NIGHTS DREAM

BY ED BRUCE edbrucevegas@yahoo.com

SORT OF....

The Erotic Heritage Museum 3275 Industrial Road las Vegas Nevada 89109 has introduced theatre to their already interesting menu of memoriable items.

The play runs into August on weekends 702 369 6442 ddrlaura@eroticheritage.org

Amazingly interesting if nothing else...the local paper gave it an F...my rating is somewhat generous...the biggest negative was 4 minutes late.

I had just come off 1776 in Long Beach with 12 equity actors and a four star production so high quality theatre was on my memory cummulative...something different here. The bar was high and always is.

This four star sex museum has decided to do theatre ! The venue for 29 people not good...floor level seating (you could not see the actors rolling around on the floor-a couple rows of bleachers or a STAGE...would have been the answer.

My wife...a student of Shakespeare said it was his gig and that the actors were working at it. Shakespeare tough for me even tho I have seen all 37 plays ...this remains tough to comprehend and follow...she liked it.

Somehow I was expected some sexual twist or nudity or something erotic about this...I did not get it. Lots of simulation and noise...some acting...costumes...decent set...great air conditioning.

74 C

HARD TO RECOMMEND IF YOU HAVE SEEN SHAKESPEARE AT THE UTAH SHAKESPEARE FESTIVAL

THE MUSEUM ITSELF HIGHLY RECOMMENDED FOR ITS PROFESSIONAL EXHIBITS, HISTORY AND LAYOUT.
