Besides these anomalies, the play maintained a traditional performance, delighting audiences with a witty Shakespearean romantic comedy performed by a talented cast. Daniel R. Pecci ’09 as Nick Bottom, the weaver, was among the most memorable cast members. Instead of playing Bottom as simply half-man, half-ass, Pecci embraced the character so fully that he acted like a total ass.

...other actors all turn in excellent performances. The café and its environs swarm with varied forms of lowlives, all of which are vividly and entertainingly portrayed. The drunks (Daniel R. Pecci ’08 and the particularly good Simon N. Nicholas) mingle with hustlers (Liam R. Martin ’06, Mike G. Jordan ’08, Jason M. Lazarcheck ’08, the admirably sleazy and slick Rob D.
