William Shakespeare: The Oxford Shakespeare: A Midsummer Night's Dream
Langue : English
A Midsummer Night's Dream is a comedy written by William Shakespeare c. 1595 or 1596. The play is set in Athens, and consists of several subplots that revolve around the marriage of Theseus and Hippolyta. One subplot involves a conflict between four Athenian lovers. Another follows a group of six amateur actors rehearsing the play which they are to perform before the wedding. Both groups find themselves in a forest inhabited by fairies who manipulate the humans and are engaged in their own domestic intrigue. The play is one of Shakespeare's most popular and is widely performed.
Well, who would dare to give less than 5 stars to the bard anyway :) That said, this play is a fun and witty read, I thoroughly enjoyed it.
