A Midsummer Night’s Dream

Before this, I had never seen this play so it was a new experience for me. I really enjoyed how the students made the play their own. First, the director changed the cast from all male to all female, which I thought was an interesting twist. Having an all-female cast did not, in my opinion, affect the play in a negative way. On top of this, they incorporated modern media scattered through the play. At one point, when the donkey made its first appearance, the actress started singing Low by Flo Rida. There were several other instances when they used modern songs to fill that gap in the play, I just can’t remember what songs they were. Having these songs in there broke up the seriousness of the play and broke up the tough language of the play. Overall, I really enjoyed the play.
