you can get the full, original script (which I would recommend doing...and doing it in mondern dress is no problem...I've seen it a couple of times that way) and all of his plays for free at www.opensourceshakespeare.com

since Shakespeare's play is in modern English, just in verse and a bit unfamiliar, if you read it slowly you will discover what it means. Pay particular attention to the punctuation which gives you the proper phrasing. You are wimping out on a reading assignment no doubt. But the original script is about as modern as you are going to find, so do your homework and study it and work it out. Oh, and the movie used the original script as well.

It is usually not a good idea to deviate from Shakespeare's original text. It is perfect the way it is. Although, it is kind of a trend to set Shakespeare's plays in a more modern or different setting than Elizabethan time. But trust me, stick with the original script.

These guys, like, go in to a forest in, like, July or something.
Their girls are with them, and like, these Fairies and weirdos do stuff. Oh, and a guy turns in to a Horse or something.
STICK TO THE SCRIPT!
MND is probably the most accessible play that Will ever wrote.

that is not any longer on the internet and that is not any longer loose yet there are editions that have the Elizabethan English on the left website and the standard English on the final website. they do no longer look to be all that costly, yet you're extra beneficial off paraphrasing your self
