Loading... A Midsummer Night's Dreamby William Shakespeare
not really that good   2A4BOOKS | May 10, 2013 |  I really liked the concept of the Green World and the real world in this play. I also really liked the class discussions we had about how the characters were all intermingled and their fates were connected while someone was actually pulling the strings behind the scenes. It brought into play an interesting notion for me about the thought of a master plan and that perhaps there is a little Puck that likes to play around with our lives in another dimension that we can’t see. NickiZ | May 1, 2013 | I loved it, of course. Still, I did want to smack Puck when he screwed up and shout, "NOOOOOOOO!" If you haven't seen the movie Molly: http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0143746/ Well, watch it. That bit where she's at Romeo and Juliet? That's what I'm talking about. I love that bit! Anyway, it was classic Shakespeare comedy. I'll have to see it performed now (per Davey). I did actually prefer The Tempest to aMND, in fact...the ones (comedies) I've read I would put them in order of preference as follows: Much Ado About Nothing Taming of the Shrew The Tempest A Midsummer Night's Dream Just my personal preference. Still, it was great. (  ) Ameliapei | Apr 18, 2013 | Studied it for A Level. I wasn't really fond, though there were some good/clever bits in the writing. (  ) shanaqui | Apr 9, 2013 | You want fun?
