Think you know Shakespeare? Seen it all, have you? Not quite like this, you haven't. Nylon Fusion Collective's new production of A Midsummer Night's Dream reworks the Bard into a condensed — yet utterly complete — interactive format, where the audience decides each night which actors will play each part. It's literally a different show every performance, as all the actors have been tasked with learning at least three different parts. Add to that the fact that this guerrilla troupe performs in a different space (chocolate shops, parks, bars, and art galleries) each time, and you've got a dizzying number of theatrical possibilities. Co-founded by Brit Elliot Joseph and Brooklynite Ivette Dumeng, the company deftly transforms the play with both whimsy and a good deal of bravery.
