Product Description
•••••
A Midsummer Night's Dream, one of Shakespeare's most enjoyable comedies, is focused on magic, love spells, and an enchanted wood. When four young lovers travel to the forest of Athens to escape Athenian law and their own mismatched rivalries, their lives get entwined with a rivalry between the King and Queen of the Fairies. Unintentionally, several Athenian craftsmen who are preparing a play for Duke Theseus and his wife, Hippolyta, contribute to the comedy. The end product is a fantastic mash-up of desire and enchantment, merriment and comedy, all influenced by Shakespeare's unique perspective of the enthralling interplay between art and life, dreams and the waking world.
Paperback. 208 pages.
A continuation of the world-renowned Royal Shakespeare Company's main series of individual Shakespeare plays, compiled by two outstanding, younger generation Shakespearean academics, Jonathan Bate and Eric Rasmussen.
This remarkable series of individual plays combines Jonathan Bate's insightful critical analysis with Eric Rasmussen's textual expertise, and incorporates definitive text and cutting-edge notes from William Shakespeare: Complete Works—the first authoritative, modernised edition of Shakespeare's First Folio in more than 300 years.
