A Midsummer Night’s Nude: Here’s “A Midsummer Night’s Dream” to reckon with. On Aug. 1, New York’s Shakespeare in the Park will open a production by the Teatro do Ornitorrinco, a theater company from Brazil. It will be performed in Portuguese and some actors playing fairies and nymphs will be nude. A New York Parks Department spokesman said no censoring is planned. “It’s not like we haven’t seen it all in New York,” he added.
