“A Perfect Wedding”: If the shape and scope of this play seem familiar, that’s because its author loves to build stories on the foundations of existing ones. In this case, Charles L. Mee -- author of such plays as “The Berlin Circle” and “Big Love” -- invokes “A Midsummer Night’s Dream,” the Shakespearean story that unfolds largely in the woods, where nature’s majesty overwhelms worldly distractions. Mee deposits his collection of sophisticates in a stretch of woods on Martha’s Vineyard. Donna Marquet’s set and D Martyn Bookwalter’s lighting abstractly suggest this enchanted place. Director Gordon Davidson irons out the wrinkles.
