Happy June Solstice

Vivian Leigh
In celebration, let’s review Shakespeare’s A Midsummer Night’s Dream. Crazy fairies, magic love potions, and a bit of bestiality, what’s not to like?

The ultra-condensed version:

A Midsummer Night’s Dream
By William Shakespeare
Ultra-Condensed by David J. Parker and Samuel Stoddard

Hermia, Lysander, Demetrius, and Helena: We’re all in love with each other the wrong way around.

(Everyone goes into the woods. They have wacky experiences, pair off correctly, and live happily ever after.)

THE END
