About ShakespeareWilliam Shakespeare was an English poet and playwright, widely regarded as the greatest writer in the English language and the world's pre-eminent dramatist. He is often called England's national poet and the "Bard of Avon". His surviving works, including some collaborations, consist of about 38 plays, 154 sonnets, two long narrative poems, and several other poems. His plays have been translated into every major living language and are performed more often than those of any other playwright.
A Midsummer Night's Dream is a comedy by William Shakespeare. It is
believed to have been written around 1594 to 1596. It portrays the
events surrounding the marriage of the Duke of Athens, Theseus, and the
Queen of the Amazons, Hippolyta. These include the adventures of four
young Athenian lovers and a group of amateur actors, who are manipulated
by the fairies who inhabit the forest in which most of the play is set.
The play is one of Shakespeare's most popular works for the stage and
is widely performed across the world.
