Shakespeare Retold doesn't use the language, but the plot structures of the Bard to retell four of his plays. This could have been disastrous given that plot wasn't a Bardian gift, but it holds up amazingly well. Midsummer Night's Dream, for its part, is set in a holiday resort and solves the problem of magical fairies by simply playing it straight. There ARE fairies and love potions in this world, let's just move on. Where I think it succeeds is in fleshing out Theseus and Hippolyta a lot more than any stageing of the play I've ever seen, and Oberon too. 7 years 4 months ago
