A Midsummer’s Night Dream: A review

A Midsummers Night Dream is mavin of Shakespeargons most universal comedies. There are thousands of versions of the move originated from real unlike interpretations of the textual matter. In this particular adaptation, the director, Joan Ollé, opted to focussing on the theme of the eroticism and the absurd side of the play. The eroticism is primarily represented by puck and titania and after part. Pucks movements are real coarse and sexual as well.

It is true, though, that Demetrius and Lysander looked progenyer than what I expected them to be. Moreover, one of them carries a scooter and they bear a skirt and shorts, which is what little male child wears. Comparing them to the girls, they look elder than they, and their clothes reinforce that aspect, since they wear transparent or show dresses. Puck is more sexualized than in the text, and in some photo it looked as if he was in some kind of relationship with Oberon, but it was not very clear. Gender politics are not really made evident in this version since the director wanted to focus more on former(a) aspects. However, I missed the force-out of Hyppolita. In Shakespeares text there is a clarified resistance to marry from Hyppolitas part that was not very represented in this adaptation. The young couples were the ones who were more important...
