230 Quail Gardens Drive, Encinitas, 92024
Life imitates art, in David Leddy's site-specific piece, a lot. You walk beautiful San Diego Botanic Gardens and hear a story on headphones about a "high-strung" family of musicians who have names from, and behave like, characters in A Midsummer Night's Dream (both Shakespeare's comedy and the Benjamin Britten opera). "Puckish" Robin Goodfellow, a singer, may have been sexually abusive. His children wander through a maze of partial clarity. The title refers to wind whistling through the trees, as it does at the Botanic Gardens, as if on cue. Patrons go in groups at 15-minute intervals, from 9:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. [Note: due to popular demand, La Jolla Playhouse extended the run].
