The director is able to create an effective dream-like setting with the use of projections, lighting, and puppetry.

Puck is then lifted into the air and a large white sheet consumes the stage. Even for those familiar with the play, such as myself, it immediately commands your mind to travel to the dream world Taymor has created.
