The language maybe more polite and formal, and the manner may be more distinguished and measured, but with their characters Aden Gillett and Janie Dee play in the same crucible of romantic longing, sexual desire and meddlesome conflict as do the young lovers. A Midsummer Night's Dream owns a complicated, multi-plot structure, yet it is remarkable that Shakespeare pulls it all off marvelously.
William Shakespeare is peerless in literature, drama and poetry. His plays are often a difficult read, though, even for native English speakers. This has contributed, I feel, to an oversight and under-appreciation for the wisdom he has offered for centuries. So in ST! I endeavor to engage, entertain and educate a modern day audience.
