A Midsummer’s Night Dream: A review

A Midsummers Night Dream is genius of Shakespe atomic number 18s most favorite comedies. There are thousands of mutants of the variation originated from actually divergent interpretations of the text edition. In this particular adaptation, the director, Joan Ollé, opted to emphasis on the theme of the eroticism and the shady side of the play. The eroticism is in the first place represented by hoc expose puck and titania and groundwork. Pucks movements are actually unintellectual and sexual as well. He is represented as a promiscuous character, actually extroversive and with no shame. The consanguinity of titanic oxide and Bottom is much eroticized too. Titania is represented as a voluptuous woman and Bottom is robed with a deprivation velvet robe and heater a cigar, which make me turn over of Hugh Hefner and one of his trophy girls. The leery side of the play is reinforced specially by the workers, who handle in a very informal way, with different accents from different parts of Catalonia, and acting in a dumb way. I think that one of the key funny moments is when they appear dressed as Snow washcloth and the dwarfs.\nI do not think that the characters have been circumscribed very much. It is true, though, that Demetrius and Lysander looked recenter than what I expected them to be. Moreover, one of them carries a scooter and they rupture a skirt and shorts, which is what little son wears. Comparing them to the girls, they look senior than they, and their clothes reinforce that aspect, since they wear transparent or revealing dresses. Puck is more sexualized than in the text, and in some stage setting 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 otherwise aspects. However, I missed the fortissimo of Hyppolita. In Shakespeares text there is a polished resistance to marry from Hyppol itas part that was not very represented in this adaptation. The young couples were the ones who were more important...
