The Complete Midsummer Night's Dream

A Midsummer Night's Dream is a delightful excursion into Shakespeare's fantasy world. With something for everyone, including the courtly world of Theseus and the lovers Hermia, Helena, Lysander, and Demetrius; the fairy world of Oberon, Titania, and Puck; and the burlesque comedy of Bottom and the other craftsmen, the play offers divertissement to every playgoer. There is little here of profundity. One of the most light-hearted of Shakespeare's comedies, it asks only to be enjoyed.
