Publisher's Synopsis
The depths in Shakespeare's A Midsummer Night's Dream create a wealth of impressions: it can be seen as light and enchanting and delightful, dark and disturbing and frightful, or a rich combination. As Readers, we can hold all the layers in our minds and take time to revel in the varieties of love in this play, wonder at the many references to death, puzzle over the underlying mythological allusions that resonate throughout, ponder the frightening adventures in the middle of the night in the enchanted woods, all under the light of the Moon Goddess. Although this is one of Shakespeare's most performed plays, you will find that the treasures appear even more brilliantly when you read it out loud and in community.
