A Mid(Winter) Night’s Dream
On November 16, 2016 at 8pm, I attended a play entitled A Mid(Winter) Night’s Dream. Since I myself know very little about shakespearean plays, I walked in expecting a dramatic, serious play, but was shook to realize that it was actually a hilarious comedy. I brought a friend to watch the play with me, and even she was saying how much she loved it while walking out of the theatre. Not only was the play overall remarkable, but it also showed many lessons on life. The play was mostly about loves difficulty within four characters, Hermia, Lysander, Helena and Demetrius.

I was drawn into the play the whole time, as if I was a part of their play. I could barely even notice any “forced” acting because it all seemed so natural.

But, mostly I enjoyed the play because I was able to relate to a lot of the themes and was able to put myself in some of the characters shoes. I would definitely recommend this play to anybody who is looking for a good drama while also looking for a comedy in which you will not stop laughing. I had my eyes glued on the play the entire time, and honestly it was all worth
