Midsommer Flight's productions are performed in natural sunlight and without amplified sound, much as they were done in the Bard's day. Midsommer Flight has become one of Chicago's best-loved and most highly regarded producers of free summer Shakespeare. In her review of Midsommer Flight's 2023 production of CYMBELINE, NEW CITY'S Mary Wisniewski said, "this Midsommer production offers better Shakespeare...the language was beautiful and delivered with heart. ...with Shakespeare, the play has to be more important than the gimmicks. Midsommer remembers that." Sarz Maxwell of BUZZ CENTER STAGE, in reviewing 2022's A MIDSUMMER NIGHT'S DREAM, said "Director/Founder Beth Wolf has brought Midsommer Flight triumphantly through a decade of productions." Kerry Reid, writing for the CHICAGO READER, said of 2019's THE TEMPEST, "Wolf's compact staging comes in at a tidy 90 minutes, but nothing feels rushed here... it wears its ingratiating charms with a light but sure-handed touch."
