A Midsummer’s Night Dream: A review

A summer solstices Night conceive of is whiz of Shakespe ares near popular comedies.

In this particular adaptation, the director, Joan Ollé, opted to pore on the theme of the sexiness and the funny side of the play.

In Shakespeares text there is a slight resistance to attach from Hyppolitas part that was not very repres ented in this adaptation. The young couples were the ones who were more important...
