To Choose a Script

A Midsummer's Night Dream is a most fantastical play written by the most legendary playwright, Shakespeare. It has been written and rewritten many times in the 420 some odd years since it's origin and thus there are many versions out there that could be potentially used for a script. Some of these include updated language, so that more modern audiences can understand the play more readily, though I find this to be a disservice to Shakespeare because the iambic pentameter he wrote it in is what makes it so engrossing. I've stumbled upon the original version on MIT's website.

The link is here.
