An exclusive preview screening and amazing cinematic experience of Julie Taymor's acclaimed production of Shakespeare's A Midsummer Night's Dream, with music by Elliot Goldenthal. “The director who redefined spectacle on Broadway … has now given New York a Midsummer Night’s Dream that doesn’t so much reach for the heavens as roll around in them, with joyous but calculated abandon … For Ms. Taymor, the sky is not the limit. It’s a supple canvas to be stretched and bent to the whims of the imagination. Her eye-popping take on the canon’s most enchanted comedy … confirms Ms. Taymor’s reputation as the cosmic P. T. Barnum of contemporary stagecraft … This Dream exists … as a glittering necklace of breathtaking moments ... [and] when the moments are this beautiful, they take root in your mind and assume lives of their own.” –Ben Brantley, The New York Times. A presentation of "New Views: Documentaries and Dialogue," made possible by generous donations from Leonard Lauder and Jane and Michael Eisner.
