33. Dominic Dromgoole and Robin Lough’s A Midsummer Night’s Dream (2014) Plenty of film adaptations of Shakespeare actually happen to be adaptations of stage versions of Shakespeare’s plays, since the vision of theatrical directors and the experience of the actors can make an expedient transition to a two dimensional plane.
