A Midsummer Night's Dream

Another smearing of a good play.

Yep, once again someone attempts to apply iambic pentameter to modern-day dress and vehicles.

As usual, it is a hodgepodge presenting to be someone's (Casey Wilder Mott) artsy-fartsy one up on Shakespeare. A few scenes were shifted. Toss in a little Mozart. Apply sentences from other plays, social media, and even stoop to Star Wars.

There is a plus when Oberon and Titania are placed in music. But even this is clicked away.

Even though the play was meant to be seen (well maybe not this version) you will also want to read it. There are overlapping themes of the misadventures of lovers, enthusiastic thespians, and fairies as part of a Midsummer Night's Dream.

Filming Locations: Topanga State Park, California, USA. The locals will recognize it immediately.

One plus is the characters are displayed upfront instead of ending credits.

Well, Shakespeare gets the last laugh.

You will leave saying "What the Puck?"
