LOVE THIS RECORDING! although there's a lot of weird moaning meant to be people stirring in their sleep etc but its kind of weird after a while

Ever since I watched and listened to William Shakeseare's "A Midsummer Night's Dream,I began to relate my personal love life to the dream. The way W.S describes love, as being humorous, IMHO, I agree. Having the pleasure to dance some parts of it for my beloved father & brother,(he helped me every day, so that I could dance ballet). The eldest B.brother, who always was in Germany, use to buy me the pink hard toe shoes.

As far as I know, "A Midsummer Night's Dream," was one of William Shakespeare's masterpiece! In this particular piece of his work, he was a poet of enduring greatness. His words will endure me, as long as I live. I'll cherish the wonderful and loving memories that I had with my loved ones that are gone...

This is the first play I ever saw, when I was six years old, about sixty years ago. And I have seen it numerous times since. During my teenage years it was with Diana Rigg. (Sigh.) But I think that it is with this realization that I finally get it. Bottom is the hero. He absolutely killed his part and the nobles who look down their noses at him we're put to shame. His naivete and boastfulness belies his fundamental innocence. He was able to become Pyramus with that innocence. And all the role making devices that the rude mechanicals come up with reminded me of my old directors in school plays telling us how things would work on stage.

Around 1972 or 73 I remember when this was my first televised Shakespeare play on BBC TV. It was an outside broadcast recorded during the night and early morning. Ronnie Barker played Bottom.

Act 2 Scene 1 starts at 20:38

DID THEY ACTUALLY MOAN HOLDUP

can someone answer these for me Questions: • What is your impression of Egeus, Hermia’s father? • Why is he so insistent that Hermia should marry Demetrius instead of Lysander (they are equally handsome and equally rich - interchangeable)? Hint: Arranged marriages • Is it really about Demetrius, or is it about control? • Theseus sides with Egeus, but offers Hermia a third option - live the rest of her life as a nun. What do you think of his ruling? He may be following the law, but is this justice? Media Spotlight: • What impression do you get of Monte Athena in Michael Hoffman’s film? • What advantages might there be to moving the play from ancient Athens to a more modern setting? • Watch Hippolyta’s reaction to Theseus’s judgment in the film. What might she be thinking? What has made her so upset?

Anyone explain why so much of Helena's speech ni Act 2 Scene 2 was cut..? HELENA Oh, I am out of breath in this fond chase. The more my prayer, the lesser is my grace. 95 Happy is Hermia, wheresoe'er she lies, For she hath blessèd and attractive eyes. How came her eyes so bright? Not with salt tears. If so, my eyes are oftener washed than hers. No, no, I am as ugly as a bear, 100 For beasts that meet me run away for fear. Therefore no marvel though Demetrius Do, as a monster, fly my presence thus. What wicked and dissembling glass of mine Made me compare with Hermia’s sphery eyne? 105 [Sees LYSANDER] But who is here? Lysander, on the ground? Dead or asleep? I see no blood, no wound. Lysander, if you live, good sir, awake. Starting with "Happy is Hermia" and ending with "Hermia's sphery eyne" is not in here as far as I can hear. Huge parts of Lysander's speech to Helena are also left out, very annoying.
