Performance Review: A Midsummer Night's Dream by Yevhen Reznichenko

Abstract

Until recently, Ukraine has remained an almost blank space on the map of open air Shakespeare productions. We regret to admit that our country can hardly boast any remarkable theatrical festival in general, and a Shakespearean one in particular. However, in the last decade, a certain shift in the Ukrainian Shakespeare-related theatrical practices has been observed, which is clearly a tangible sign of the belated genesis of outdoor Shakespearean productions in Ukraine.
