Dream Story

Product Information

A comedy series about a large family living in a two-bedroom apartment, for what they think is "temporary." In his essay "Preposterous Pleasures: Queer Theories and A Midsummer Night's Dream", Douglas E. Green explores possible interpretations of alternative sexuality that he finds within the text of the play, in juxtaposition to the proscribed social mores of the culture at the time the play was written. He writes that his essay "does not (seek to) rewrite A Midsummer Night's Dream as a gay play but rather explores some of its 'homoerotic significations'... moments of 'queer' disruption and eruption in this Shakespearean comedy." [23] The players perform ‘Pyramus and Thisbe’ before the Duke and his wedding guests. It is so comically bad that the guests love it. Oberon and Titania appear at the end, happy and reunited, to bless all of the marriages.
