Shenandoah Shakespeare Express performs in the arboretum Friday

by Chris Klirnek focus editor Looking over the list of plays the Shenandoah Shakespeare Express has performed in the JMU arboretum in recent years — "Much Ado About Nothing," "Twelfth Night," "A Comedy of Errors," and, come Friday, "A Midsummer Nighf s Dream" — the first thing one sees is that they are all comedies. Moreover, looking over the list of plays the SSE has performed since its inception nine years ago, one notices that the Jim Warren-directed version of "Midsummer" that comes to the arboretum Friday after- noon is the group's fourth production of it — and they have yet to stage any of the Bard's other works more man twice.

Alan Cohen. "It really is constructed like a dream, and because of mat, it breaks down the senses, and everybody likes it." Warren, Cohen's partner in the SSE, says "Midsummer'"s continuing appeal to the group lies in the challenge it presents. "How to balance the comedy and the drama?" Warren asks. "Thaf s what's trouble- some with this play. Because it's not just a slapstick farce, like 'Comedy of Errors.' There are moments that need to be serious for the show to work."

But the group's current "Rough Magic" tour of the Mid-Atlantic United States, featuring "Midsummer" and a new "Macbeth" (which revealing the key to the SSE's success. and anywhere from 12 to 18 acting work- Warren also co-directed with Carl Martin), finally gives Warren the chance to do his "And those productions were — not by shops conducted by the troupe members. version of Shakespeare's most surreal — and possibly most beloved — play.
