A Midsummer Night’s Dream

One of William Shakespeare’s best known comedies, A Midsummer Night’s Dream is a love story — but not just a love story with a twist; it is a love story with several twists. Not satisfied with a love triangle, Shakespeare creates a love quadrangle as Demetrius, Lysander, Helena and Hermia fall in love, run around the forest, fall out of love, run around the forest some more, have spells cast on them, and generally endure midsummer madness. In the meantime plots and sub-plots are hatched involving angry fathers, mischievous fairies, love potions, a character who (quite literally) makes an ass of himself, and a group of actors who are supposed to perform a play, but unfortunately don’t know how to act. The play explores themes of love, jealousy, and pride, but all with a healthy dose of fantasy and humour.
