El somni d'una nit d'estiu
William Shakespeare
Love, desire, sex, family pressures, universal issues in Shakespeare’s most popular comedy
Shakespeare’s most popular comedy is one of the most suggestive explorations ever made in world theatre of the ambivalent coexistence of love and sex, between family and desire, which in the forest of dreams are running the risk of getting trapped among the demoniacal tricks of the forces of nature, among the caprices of archaic spirits who have no qualms about turning human relations formed in the light of day upside down, although these disruptions only occur in the slippery reality of dreams.
