"A Dream in Hanoi" Airs Monday Night

My pal Richard Bartram sends along this program note of interest:
I thought your readers might be interested --

The documentary, A Dream In Hanoi, will air on March 2, Monday night at 8 p.m. and again at 11 p.m. on Huntington Public Access TV (Huntington Comcast Channel 20).

(From the filmmaker's website):

Twenty five years after the end of the Vietnam War, Vietnamese and Americans join forces in a unique collaboration. Two theater companies, one American, one Vietnamese, come together to stage the first performances in Vietnam of Shakespeare’s play A Midsummer Night’s Dream.

A DREAM IN HANOI follows the actors, directors, producers and technicians from both countries as they struggle to surmount the obstacles of language, culture, ideology and a history of war—on their journey to opening night at Hanoi's famous Opera House.
