A Midsummer Night's Dream is a comedy written by William Shakespeare in about 1595 or 1596. The play is set in Athens and consists of several subplots that revolve around the marriage of Theseus and Hippolyta.
One subplot involves a conflict among four Athenian lovers. Another follows a group of six amateur actors rehearsing the play which they are to perform before the wedding.
Both groups find themselves in a forest inhabited by fairies who manipulate the humans and are engaged in their own domestic intrigue. The play is one of Shakespeare's most popular and is widely performed.
About The Play:
Perhaps Shakespeare’s most beloved and cherished comedy, A Midsummer Night’s Dream, like the bard himself, seems to transcend time. The play is set in the age of Greek heroes, an ambiguous time period that serves as the backdrop to many of the mythologies with which we are familiar.
The main action of the play, which takes place in the woods near ancient Athens, is a place where time, seasons, and moon phases are controlled by feuding fairies.
Who are those fairies actually?
Shakespeare knew that this world is controlled and manipulated by the Anunnaki elite or perhaps the Draco reptiles or the jinns but ı call 'em simply 'X'. and so he wanted to refer to their existence in his play implicitly as imaginary representatives.
Believe it or not but he was even allied with those elites personally himself ı suppose, so as an important member of this cult and the secret society who is certainly aware of the manipulation of time & space fabric he was surely able to predict the future, he even knew these recent days, the 21st century and the well-known popular incidents of the present such as 9/11, etc. as well sir.
He had even known about me.
The Current Play:
In their production, they have set out to have fun with a malleable temporal dimension and be “time’s subjects.”
For the Palm Beach Shakespeare Festival, the concept of time is something they are reflecting on as they look back on thirty years of Shakespeare by the Sea.
Amid the pandemic, the protests, and the politics that have consumed the nations in those days and threatened the way of life, PBSF made the decision to offer a virtual festival in the summer of 2020.
