AB  - Juxtaposes Botho Strauss's adaptation of Midsummer Night's Dream, Der Park (q.v.), and Heiner Müller's "more tangentia[l]" adaptation, Waldstück [Forest Play] (1969, q.v. publication); "the one epitomizing West German, the other East German, predicatments; the one with a high culture agenda, the other subscribing...to working class realism and social engagment." Focuses on portrayal of Oberon, Titania, and forgetting in both plays, suggesting that these productions present "anachronic Shakespeare," that encourages us to consider Shakespeare's "contemporaneity. Compares both German adaptations with Nicholas Hytner's 2019 production (q.v.).
