A Dream Play 2012

The Department of Theatre’s production of A Dream Play, brilliantly directed by Chicago’s Max Truax, is exceptional. The cast is superb, the stage setting (including the lighting, costumes, makeup, media, and set) is eerily provocative, and the music (which I’ll discuss later) is both beautiful and (yes, I’ll employ this overused word because it’s true) haunting. Indeed, everything about this play is a feast for the eyes and ears. I just said it, but it can’t be said enough, so I’ll say it again: everyone involved in the stage direction, the set, the lighting, the costumes, makeup, and sound deserves huge applause.
