DIRECTOR: TOM WEIDLINGER In the fall of 2000, Portland’s Artist Repertory Theater embarked on an historic collaboration with the renowned Central Democratic Theater Company in Hanoi, Vietnam to stage the first performance in that country of Shakespeare's "A Midsummer Night's Dream." Traveling with ART’s staff and company members to Hanoi, Weidlinger wonderfully captures the weeks of behind-the-scenes struggles with language, culture and ideology—never mind artistic egos—to reveal the myriad rifts and frustrations that threatened to scuttle the production. As this clash of cultures and wills often humorously plays out, a shared dream emerges from the chaos and we witness not only the creation of a unique bi-lingual, bi-cultural production, but leaps in personal growth and understanding from everyone Oriental and Occidental. Here, the play may have been the thing, but so too are the players. (101 mins.) |
