“ Perhaps my favorite of Shakespeare's comedies, A Midsummer Night's Dream is a story of mistaken identity, true love, and fairy magic. Hermia and Lysander are in love and want to marry, but Hermia's father Egeus wants her to marry Demetrius, whom Hermia's friend Helena loves. Meanwhile, all is not right in the fairy realm.

In preparation for Duke Theseus's wedding to Hippolyta, a group of mechanicals, including Nick Bottom, are rehearsing a play. The three stories converge in the woods on Midsummer Night.”

“I read this for a class in high school. Of all of Shakespeare's plays, I love this one best. The whimsical nature of love portrayed within the story speaks to everyone. Despite the archaic nature of Shakespeare's writing, of all his plays I have read, this one seems the most timeless, even more so than Romeo and Juliet.”

“What is up with this play? A Midsummer Night's Dream supplies laughs for any audience as Bottom turns into a donkey and a love potion mishap creates a tangle of relationships. It's a good read, although it is difficult to understand at times. Watching the movie rendition of this play might be helpful to fully understand each scene.”
