Behind the Scenes - A Midsummer Night's Dream

A Midsummer Night's Dream

“A Midsummer Night’s Dream” is generally thought to have been written in 1595 or 1596. Samuel Pepys, an avid playgoer of the 17th Century, writes in his diary that it is “the most ridiculous play that ever I have seen.” However, this play has become one of the most often produced plays from Shakespeare’s works and is one of the most popular with audiences. With its themes of every-changing love, herbally-induced intoxication and woodland setting, the late 1960s seemed an appropriate fit for the play.
