A Dream-like Play

A Midsummer Night's Dream - William Shakespeare

I am taking an on-line course on Shakespeare and this is play #2 read and discussed. It is a light, breezy play with capricious fairies, forsaken lovers and bumbling working class actors who perform a play within a play. This was very easy to read and enjoy, but nothing of depth. The most memorable line is "Lord, what fools these mortals be!"
