By Jean Betts & William Shakespeare

"Fantastic imagination. Jean Betts' thoroughly revised version of A Midsummer Night's Dream is a stunning production" - New Zealand Times

"Revenge of the Amazons is a pantomime romp through a feminist Shakespeare's dream" - Dominion

"The bard may well be turning in his grave, not because of the liberties taken with his play, but because he is laughing as helplessly as the audience did" - Evening Post (reviews from the original Circa Production, 1983)
