    As I had a slightly larger vocabulary range than I did when I was eight‚ I didn’t completely understand the text‚ but I could understand enough to know what a fantastic writer Shakespeare was.

    Performance Review of A Midsummer Night’s Dream This movie production of Shakespeare’s A Midsummer Nights Dream was produced and directed by Kevin Kline in 1999?.
