By the light of the moon, a group sneaks into the woods, where they take mindaltering 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.
