Over the years there have been many different adaptations to Shakespeare's play, A Midsummer Night's Dream. Since the play has the classic plot of lost and misguided love, it has lead to many different takes on the play itself. The plays plot as been adapted to many different forms of entertainment. From main stage show, to ballet as well as to the big screen.
On the big screen, many different liberties have been made with the story. From creating the actual world with classic time and place as in the 1999 adaptation of A Midsummer Nights Dream. There have also been movies with a different take on the classic story. The movie Get Over It is set in modern times in a high school where the characters are acting in a production of the play. But the love plot is actually occurring to the characters in the play while the production is happening.
