A comedy in two acts.
Written by Shakespeare and Developed by Bedrettin..
The interpretation of A Midsummer Night's Dream takes a different approach to the essence of the original text, introducing several changes and rebuilding the play around a kind of fantasy based on strange realities such as déjà vu and disjunctive cognition, a bizarre phenomenon in dreams first identified by psychoanalyst Mark Blechner in which the dreamer recognizes the identity of a character even though the appearance does not match the identity.
Some dialogue has been moved to be used in more appropriate situations. Some dialog has been condensed to make it shorter, more concise, witty, and functional. New lines have been added to better define the characters, intensify the conflict, and increase the dose of comedy. The plot has also been developed by adding more intrigue, more mischief, more magic and more humor. Always within the framework, the theme has been enriched with surprising variations. Visual and verbal elements related to dreams, love, marriage, etc. have been added to the subtext to make the play a multi-layered comedy more suitable for modern audiences.
