I was clearing junk from my bedroom table (I do not have a nightstand, I have a 6-foot Lifetime table) and found a paperback copy of A Midsummer Night's Dream.

I assume it was already there because I want to read it, and just got lost in the mess, but now it's back on my book pile. I assume it would only take a few hours to read, being that it's a play and all.

(I'm clearing space for a new wooden case for #miniatures.)

“A Midsummer Night's Dream” (https://tinyurl.com/bdzekctr) by pianist, conductor & composer Felix Mendelssohn🇩🇪, who, yes, is a Romantic era composer *dodges rotten fruit from the audience*.. The Overture (Op. 21) was written by 17yr old Mendelssohn in the mid 1820s while The Incidental music (Op. 61) was written as commission by King Frederick William IV of Prussia in the early 1840s. Both were composed for the Shakespeare play of the same name.

I finally got around to watching #RTD #RussellTDavies' #AMidsummerNightsDream and hoo boy, it was a stunner. Especially in 2025.

It was so RTD it was heartbreaking how he adapted -- well, beyond adapted, ENLISTED -- some elements of the story not just to modernize it but to make it somehow more timeless/archetypal. Hard to describe beyond that without saying too much. Frankly, just hard to describe.

I'm a huge fan of the #KevinKline/#MichellePfeiffer and cast of pre-stardom stars version of the play from 1999.

#RTD's version of it is from 2016 and it was a BBC TV movie.

And last, by way of #Introduction ... here’s a link to an article I wrote for a blog, which talks about one of the classes I like to teach: Tolkien’s Medieval English Sources. It’s about #Tolkien , The #LordOfTheRings, the #GawainPoet , #Shakespeare , #AMidsummerNightsDream , these weird #medieval creatures called #woodwoses , and more:
