Rebecca and Tori are joined again by Louise discuss two productions of Shakespeare's 'Midsummer Night's Dream'—the 1968 Royal Shakespeare Company version and the 2016 adaptation directed by David Kerr. We explore these productions of Shakespeare's 'A Midsummer Night's Dream', focusing on character analyses, particularly of Bottom and Theseus, and the dynamics of love and friendship within the story. We make some pop culture connections such as Dr. Who, Hannibal Lecter, and 'The Wizard of Oz.'
