Position:Home>Theater & Acting> What did you think of the play, A Midsummer Night's Dream?Question:I think it's one of Shakespeare's finest comedies, not only full of humor in several levels, but very thoughtful as a consideration of love through its four themes: --Love victorious over conflict (Theseus and Hippolyta) --Love confused (Helena-Hermia-Demitrius-Lysander) --Love in turmoil (Oberon-Titania) --Innocent love (Bottom and the honest, rude mechanicals--themselves, not in their Pyramus and Thisbe play, which itself is a paler reflection of the love theme). And a fabulous epilogue by Puck.

I was in it last year. It is sooo awesome! The thing about SHakespeare and modern audiences is that they don't have a clue what's going on. THe actors can make it funny, sad, or ridiculous! It's a terrific play; you ought to give it a read sometime. It's good. |
