Question by theatretech: Where can I find a bound copy of ‘A Midsummer’s Night Dream?’ I need the script, not with a translation.?
I’m designing a set for the show and having some issues finding it in script form, none of the normal publishers sell Shakespearean scripts. I would perfer it with the original text, with all of the speeches not a modernized version that is shortened.
Thanks so much.
PS- What I mean by not being able does not mean I can’t find it anywhere matter of fact I have 3 versions of it but in books that I don’t want to ruin. Designing a set takes copious notes in the margins and that’s just the beginning.
To ANY theatre people: dramastists.com doesn’t have it that’s the type of script I mean.

OMG! What do you mean?!
You can’t find the original play anywhere? What kind of bookshops do you have?! When you say translation, what do you mean? Do you mean it’s in colloquial modern english?! And shortened?!!! Whaaaaaat?!!! I can’t believe modernised and shortened versions are available and you can’t find the original. Does your show not have a script?!
WHAT KIND OF BOOKSHOPS ARE YOU GOING TO?
