...moonstruck, magical and mythic. This production hints at these qualities but never quite lends them a fairyland shimmer and substance. Shakespeare's rich fund of vernal imagery all but makes up the deficit. If no real bird song lilts in a bosky dell, the playwright's words linger in the air like ineffable music.
