Why should you read "A Midsummer Night's Dream?"

By the light of the moon, a group sneaks into the woods, where they take mind-altering substances, switch it up romantically and brush up against creatures from another dimension. "A Midsummer Night's Dream" sees Shakespeare play with the boundary between illusion and reality - and dramatize the possibility that life is but a dream. Iseult Gillespie shares what makes this play a timeless classic. [Directed by WOW-HOW Studio, narrated by Bethany Cutmore-Scott, music by Stephen LaRosa].
