A Midsummer Night's Dream

Posted 08-07-2010 at 08:18 AM by Officelover



A Midsummer Night's Dream is truly my favorite of Shakespeare's works. It is non-stop hilarity with wonderful writing, puns, fairies, magic, and overall wit, humor, and cleverness. I always enjoy a production of it. I've seen at least five different stage versions. I own the recent movie, and I've seen two other filmed versions. Honestly, I cannot get tired of seeing a good performance of Midsummer.

I am writing this because only yesterday did I see an extremely good production, at a local theater. For those of you who haven't seen it either because you're afraid to grapple with Shakespeare or because you simply haven't gotten around to it, I highly reccomend it to you.

    Hmm...

    I'm not a huge fan of Midsummer Night's Dream- Generally I prefer the tragedies over the comedies- but among the comedies I like both As you like it and Twelfth Night more.

    I do love Oberon and Titania and their argument- but for me the main four characters are all just so... annoying. Demetrius and Lysander are as wimpy and pathetic as each other- and Hermia and Helena are just so spineless and soppy. I would much rather it were written as tragedy and they all ending up killing each other- would seem much more fitting.

    Despite this- the rude mechanicals are good- and the performance of Pyramus and Thibse is an absolutely excellent scene.

    Really? To tell you the truth, I think Shakespeare is a better comedic writer than he is a tragic writer. I don't know. Midsummer has always been my favorite.
