THEATRE IN ENGLISH: "A MIDSUMMER NIGHT'S DREAM"

On Friday 5th we're going to see a famous Shakespeare's play, "A Midsummer Night's Dream" with students at BTO.
Dreams and reality, mixed identities, unrequited love, the supernatural, mythological and mortal beings all come together in one of Shakespeare's most celebrated comedies not forgetting the distinctive touch of humour, gags and songs that Face2Face brings to all its shows.

In the following link you can download a sheet with a short summary of the play and below you have some comprenhension questions I strongly advise you to answer before watching the play to make sure you understand the plot and the general setting. You can write your answers in the following VoiceThread or say them aloud. Don't forget to introduce yourselves so that I can reward those students who answer the questions.
