What We Think

A Midsummer Night’s Dream is refreshingly non-woke, focused on timeless themes, traditional values, and actual storytelling. If you want a break from modern identity politics, this is it.

Score Breakdown

Compromised:Narrative Integrity

Not Woke

What is this?

Shakespeare’s play is all about story, wit, and character. There's no emphasis on casting or character identity based on modern markers. Everything revolves around the whimsical plot and comedic misunderstandings, not ideological statement.

Compromised:Cultural Foundations

Not Woke

What is this?

Family, marriage, and tradition are central to the play, treated with both reverence and humor. There’s no attempt to subvert gender roles or deconstruct cultural foundations; if anything, it underscores their importance, even if lightheartedly.

Compromised:Ideological Monoculture

Not Woke

What is this?

No soapbox monologues here. The play contains a variety of viewpoints through its many characters, and although social norms of its own time are present, there’s no villainizing or excessive moralizing from a modern lens.
