4/14/13 A Midsummer Night’s Dream Response All of the Characters in the 1999 production of Shakespeare’s poem‚ A Midsummer Night’s Dream‚ were well played and showed thought-out preparation.

A Midsummer Night’s Dream depicts the lunacy in love by warping tensions and the dream-like quality of love beneath the eyes of the dreamer to produce "rare visions" in which to learn from. The title of the play holds tremendous weight‚ as it depicts the passions of love through dreams‚ while emphasizing the relationship between the two.
