Personally‚ I prefer the original play of “A Midsummer Night’s Dream” only slightly more than the film adaption that was recreated in the late 1990’s.

4/14/13 A Midsummer Night’s Dream Response All of the Characters in the 1999 production of Shakespeare’s poem‚ A Midsummer Night’s Dream‚ were well played and showed thought-out preparation. Two characters that I liked the most and who were most vivid and well portrayed are Theseus and Helena. Puck‚ played by Stanley Tucci‚ was a very entertaining character but Stanley did not elaborate much with his character. Theseus‚ played by David Strathairn‚ is a character that was easy to follow. I

A Midsummer Night’s Dream Play vs 1999 movie adaptation Shakespeare’s A Midsummer Night’s Dream is a wordy‚ lengthy play lasting over three hours.

Even though the film was considered a successful adaptation of Shakespeare‚ it lacks much of the play’s depth of characters and inappropriate humor. For instance‚ the play relies heavily on all the characters to achieve the complete idea
