Curious what /lit/ thinks about this play, because I've always been very fond of it.
It's obviously not held in as high regard as his other plays, which I can totally understand due to its lighthearted nature, but I think it has some amazing qualities. The feel of the play is just totally enchanting. Whenever I read it I can vividly imagine a magical forest, fairies and beautiful, surreal parts of nature. It's still one of my favorite ever examples of fantasy because it's magical atmosphere is second to none IMO.

I saw Midsummer Night's Dream at Shakespeare in the partk in new york around 5 or 6 years ago. A racoon wondered on stage and didn't really realize that he was surrounded by humans until he was practically in the middle of the stage. He then looked up and looked really confused. Looking at the audience and then at the actors and then back at the audience over and over until he just wandered off.
It's a good play though

It it really not held in high regard? I mean just a quick look at wikipedia shows a wall of text it has over his other comedies. I'd say it's by far his most respected comedy, and has a place among his best work.
Better in text, though. I just can't laugh at actors trying too hard to be funny.

Funnily enough Merchant of Venice is the most popular and frequently performed comedy.

It's the greatest comedy ever written. I love it.
