<P> The University of Michigan's Nichols Arboretum's programme Shakespeare in the Arb has presented a play every summer since 2001 . Shakespeare in the Arb has produced A Midsummer Night's Dream three times . These performances take place in a 123 - acre (50 ha) natural setting, with lush woods, a flowing river, and steep hills . The performance takes place in several places, with actors and audience moving together to each setting . "As one critic commented,' The actors used the vastness of its Arb (oretum) stage to full advantage, making entrances from behind trees, appearing over rises and vanishing into the woods ."' </P> <P> In the first production of Emma Rice as the artistic director of Shakespeare's Globe (2016), she has carried the play to Indies, with Indian characters, probably a reference to Gervinus . Changing the characters from Athenians to "Hoxton Hipsters" and creating an all - male love triangle between Lysander, Demetrius and Helenus (a male Helena), the play was carried to a more gender fluid era . The last performance was broadcast live all around the world through internet . </P> <P> W. Stanley Moss adopted the quotation, Ill met by moonlight, (proud Titania), from A Midsummer Night's Dream as the title of his best - selling book Ill Met by Moonlight published in 1950 describing the Kidnap of General Kreipe . The book was adapted into a film of the same name, directed and produced by Michael Powell and released in 1957 . It featured Dirk Bogarde as Patrick Leigh Fermor and David Oxley as Moss . </P> <P> Botho Strauß's play The Park (1983) is based on characters and motifs from A Midsummer Night's Dream . </P>
