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.

Like most other plays.

every movie adaptation of this play totally sucks. they seem to focus moreon the funny aspects and making the forest/fairies seem kind of grimey. I guess there's a place for that, but I would like to see one that focuses more on the beauty and enchantment and otherworldliness.

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

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