Book Synopsis A Midsummer Night's Dream by : Jay L. Halio
Download or read book A Midsummer Night's Dream written by Jay L. Halio and published by Manchester University Press. This book was released on 1995 with total page 168 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: After an historical survey of "A Midsummer Night's Dream" from Shakespeare's time through to the 19th century, Jay Halio focuses primarily on 20th century productions and adaptations, for film and television as well as for the stage. Chapters are devoted to productions by Max Reinhardt, Peter Hall, Robert Lepage, and especially to Peter Brook's landmark production in 1970 and the reactions to it. Using a wealth of personal experience, as well as original promptbooks and critical reviews, Halio shows how differently but still very effectively the play may be staged, as the wide variety of plays he records. This second, enlarged edition contains three new chapters on Adrian Noble's RSC production and film, Michael Hoffman's film, and the "Dream "in China. Written in clear, jargon-free language, this is the only book so far in print that offers an extended study of major 20th-century productions of the "Dream "in their historical context.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Fairies, magic and creatures from another dimension, "A Midsummer Night’s Dream" got it all! If you ever saw and loved "Get Over It" with Kirsten Dunst, this one is for you! This play is an indulgence both in the theatre and on the page as one of William Shakespeare’s sprightliest works. Set in Ancient Greece, the wood at night disrupts the boundaries between three distinct groups, and no mortal is in control. The beautiful Hermia is in a pickle. Her father has forbidden her to marry her true love, Lysander, wanting her to marry Demetrius, in whom she has no interest. The love triangle develops as it is revealed Hermia’s best friend Helena is in love with Demetrius. Including broken hearts, mistaken identities and supernatural transformations, this play reflects the drama of the things we would do for love and the irrational behavior of the people under its spell. William Shakespeare (1564-1616) is widely considered the world's greatest dramatist and is often referred to as England's national poet or the Bard. Most famous for his timeless plays, he also wrote a multitude of poems and sonnets. Shakespeare was the blockbuster writer of his day, his many works concerning universal themes of life, love, death, revenge, grief, jealousy, murder, magic, and mystery. Among some of his most famous are "Macbeth", "Romeo and Juliet", and "Hamlet", but the list is long, and many continue to be studied and performed, both their original form and modern adaptations.

This book was released on 2023-12-05 with total page 27 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Seminar paper from the year 2018 in the subject English Language and Literature Studies - Literature, grade: 1,3, LMU Munich, course: Literature and Film: Shakespeare on Screen, language: English, abstract: The following paragraphs will focus on the early period with the start of the silent movies. A period, in which, plays went from stage to screen for the very first time. The analysis will be carried out in the light of three Shakespearean plays: "A Midsummer Night’s Dream", "Romeo and Juliet" and "Macbeth". William Shakespeare (1564 - 1616) is considered to be the greatest writer and dramatist in English language. Most of his work was produced during 1589 and 1613 but in 1594, Shakespeare's talent was recognized by the public. His early plays were mostly histories and comedies like for example "A Midsummer Night's Dream". It was later on that he started writing tragedies, such as "Hamlet", "Macbeth" and "Henry VI". In his last working phase, that is to say from 1608 to 1613, Shakespeare produced romances and tragicomedies like "The Winter's Tale". After the plague in 1599, his own playing company built the Globe theatre where his plays were also performed. However, the theatre closed its doors in 1642, but was reconstructed and reopened in a modern form in 1997. Ever since it is referred to as Shakespeare's Globe. The ambition is there in the range and scope of the work, the determination to master all the dramatic kinds, the restless experimentation, the exploitation of the conventions of poetic drama in manner hat never quite loses sight of the need to entertain while constantly stretching the imaginative and intellectual responses of its audiences. The emotional turbulence is there in the frequent depiction of extreme states of mind, both comic and tragic. Shakespeare lived and wrote during the period of the reign of Queen Elizabeth I. The queen had a great fondness for theatre, which means that plays were used a tool to please and capture the royal attention. She saw almost every Shakespearean play. The Elizabethan Era was a very peaceful period in which theatre, literature and music were in the foreground and consequently, the Shakespearean plays had and still have an enormous influence in art. Keeping his success in mind, it is not surprising that Shakespearean plays were performed all over the world and were also produced as films. In the nineteenth century with the start of the silent movie productions, his plays went from stage to screen. One of the first movies was the French version of "Hamlet" in 1907 by Georges Méliès. The film "Shakespeare in love" (1998) was directed by John Madden and is about the early life of William Shakespeare.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A MIDSUMMER NIGHT'S DREAM WILLIAM SHAKESPEARE A MIDSUMMER NIGHT'S DREAM IS A COMEDY PLAY BY WILLIAM SHAKESPEARE, BELIEVED TO HAVE BEEN WRITTEN BETWEEN 1590 AND 1596. IT PORTRAYS THE EVENTS SURROUNDING THE MARRIAGE OF THE DUKE OF ATHENS, THESEUS, AND HIPPOLYTA. THESE INCLUDE THE ADVENTURES OF FOUR YOUNG ATHENIAN LOVERS AND A GROUP OF SIX AMATEUR ACTORS (MECHANICALS), WHO ARE CONTROLLED AND MANIPULATED BY THE FAIRIES WHO INHABIT THE FOREST IN WHICH MOST OF THE PLAY IS SET. THE PLAY IS ONE OF SHAKESPEARE'S MOST POPULAR WORKS FOR THE STAGE AND IS WIDELY PERFORMED ACROSS THE WORLD. A Midsummer Night's Dream act IV, scene I. Engraving from a painting by Henry Fuseli, published 1796. It is unknown exactly when A Midsummer Night's Dream was written or first performed, but on the basis of topical references and an allusion to Edmund Spenser's Epithalamion, it is usually dated 1595 or early 1596. Some have theorised that the play might have been written for an aristocratic wedding (for example that of Elizabeth Carey, Lady Berkeley), while others suggest that it was written for the Queen to celebrate the feast day of St. John, but no evidence exists to support this theory. In any case, it would have been performed at The Theatre and, later, The Globe. Though it is not a translation or adaptation of an earlier work, various sources such as Ovid's Metamorphoses and Chaucer's "The Knight's Tale" served as inspiration. According to John Twyning, the play's plot of four lovers undergoing a trial in the woods was intended as a "riff" on Der Busant, a Middle High German poem. About the autor William Shakespeare was an English poet, playwright, and actor. He was born on 26 April 1564 in Stratford-upon-Avon. His father was a successful local businessman and his mother was the daughter of a landowner. Shakespeare is widely regarded as the greatest writer in the English language and the world's pre-eminent dramatist. He is often called England's national poet and nicknamed the Bard of Avon. He wrote about 38 plays, 154 sonnets, two long narrative poems, and a few other verses, of which the authorship of some is uncertain. His plays have been translated into every major living language and are performed more often than those of any other playwright. Notable Shakespeare works includes: COMEDIES All's Well That Ends Well As You Like It Comedy of Errors Love's Labour's Lost Measure for Measure Merchant of Venice Merry Wives of Windsor Midsummer Night's Dream Much Ado about Nothing Taming of the Shrew Tempest Twelfth Night Two Gentlemen of Verona Winter's Tale HISTORIES Henry IV, Part I Henry IV, Part II Henry V Henry VI, Part I Henry VI, Part II Henry VI, Part III Henry VIII King John Pericles Richard II Richard III TRAGEDIES Antony and Cleopatra Coriolanus Cymbeline Hamlet Julius Caesar King Lear Macbeth Othello Romeo and Juliet Timon of Athens Titus Andronicus Troilus and Cressida
