A Midsummer’s Night Dream Acting Review I found the acting in AMSND very good. Actors were generally well suited for their parts and did a good job playing them. Firstly‚ there was Dominic West as Lysander. I think that he did a very good job and was well suited for the role. He very much embodied the character during the first scene‚ when showing his frustration to Egeus. Secondly‚ there was Anna Friel as Hermia. I think she did an excellent job playing the part. She cried during her beginning scene

Then‚ Atticus asks Mayella who raped her again because prior evidence showed the person who raped and

I have always felt inspired and consumed by the whole idea of acting‚ the whole world of acting. I have managed to find interests in other things such as poetry and singing‚ but at the end of it all‚ the thing I definitely most passionate about is acting. To me‚ acting alone‚ is not just how we perceive the world‚ I feel like it goes beyond that and touches us on issues‚ we may struggle to understand. Acting gives us the opportunity to use our imagination to our own expense‚ whilst creating something
