So, you’ve read Shakespeare, either because you were forced to in school or you really love iambic pentameter.

Find out if you'd be cool and laugh it off like Puck, or bumble your way to the conclusion like Bottom by taking this quiz.

Charlie took to the written word like a fish takes to water. That is to say; they found themselves immersed in literature from before they were born. They've been known to tell their friends how they can still remember the passages their parents read to them when they were in utero - Emily Dickinson, Jane Austen, and a bit of Hunter S. Thompson thrown in to balance it out. Charlie keeps their feet wet, whether they're whipping up pithy one-liners to tease your brain or busy working on their second novel (the first one is available on Amazon under a pen name they refuse to disclose). You’re sure to get a kick out of giggle-worthy explanations and outrageous hints, and still come away feeling like you’ve just expanded your knowledge base.

A Midsummer Night's Dream wasn't always popular
Believe it or not, A Midsummer Night's Dream is one of the only plays that Shakespeare wrote that came almost entirely from his imagination! Since its first performance around 1605, it has been one of Shakespeare's most popular and well-known plays. However, it was not always such a favorite. Its first extant review, written by one Samuel Pepys in 1662, calls it "the most insipid ridiculous play that ever I saw in my life," and in 1667, John Dryden questioned whether the play should be performed, considering it contains such unrealistic elements as fairies and magic. After Shakespeare's time, the play was never performed in full until Madame Vestris, an opera singer, actress, producer, and theatre manager, revived it in 1840 to great success. Since then, A Midsummer Night's Dream has only risen in popularity.
