There is a book series out called No Fear Shakespeare, inside each of these books is a different play by Shakespeare with not only the original text, but a side by side comparison with completely updated language. This is a fantastic way for people who wouldn't normally read Shakespeare to get into it and completely understand it, though as a script text it isn't a very good option. I will still post a website up that will allow a look into these books, for A Midsummer Night's Dream specifically, because this could be something that actor's could read first to gain a better understanding of the play before going into the flowery language.
