A Midsummer
Night's Dream Guide
This guide to Shakespeare's A Midsummer Night's Dream
began as the From Stage to Screen: Shakespeare and the World Wide Web
project with the Moscow Alternative School Center in Idaho. This guide will walk you
through the steps we took at MASC to put on our production of Midsummer. In
addition, you will find a computer study guide, study questions, and Midsummer
links from around the Web

Where to begin?
I have found that the
best place to begin a study of any play is with a good understanding of the story. I wrote
the following tongue-in-cheek summary to introduce my students to the
basic plot of MND. This summary also includes lines from the text.
Teachers will find a lesson plan for this activity in the Teacher Zone!

The Next Step
After you have a basic
understanding of the plot, it is time to read the play. The following
text is the cut version that was used in the MASC production. Visit J.B. Siedlecki's site for a fully
annotated script.

The script contains links to the MASC
production photos! |

From Page to Stage

photo album from the MASC 1995 performance of MND. Each photo links back to the
corresponding text from the play!
