About A Midsummer Night’s Dream
A Midsummer Night’s Dream is William Shakespeare’s early period romantic comedy play. It is thought that it was first written in 1595 or 1596 and first staged in 1605. The main theme of A Midsummer Night’s Dream is love and marriage and it highlights the humor of these two notions as a result of complicated relationships. The plot is centered around a wedding in Ancient Greece. Because of a story arc full of misunderstandings and concerned with class distinction, A Midsummer Night’s Dream has managed to become one of Shakespeare’s most well-known plays. There is also a translated version of the play titled “Bahar Noktası” by Can Yücel.
