Midsummer Night's Dream: A Comic Jewish Satire

Synopsis:
Could Shakespeare's best-known comedy be a Jewish religious lampoon written by a woman? That's the basis for Midsummer Night's Dream: a Comic Jewish Satire. the Dark Lady Players will be the first company in the world to put on a Shakespearean production using the amelia Bassano theory, which is based primarily on a recent academic discovery by John Hudson that Shakespeare's plays contain a Jewish religious allegory. the theory reveals they were written by amelia Bassano Lanyer, who has never before been considered as a potential authorship candidate. a black Jewish woman, educated by a countess from the age of seven, for at least a decade this 'Dark Lady of the Sonnets' was mistress to the man in charge of the english theater. She was the first woman in england to publish a book of poetry (in 1611), which included a long feminist epic poem criticizing the Gospels. Midsummer Night's Dream: a Comic Jewish Satire unwraps the play to its deepest allegorical level, revealing its nature as a Jewish satire against Christian idolatry. the allegory takes the form of a Dramatization of the Jewish-Roman war (66-70 BC), in which Oberon (Yahweh) was fighting against Titania (Titus Caesar). the latter has stolen away the true Jewish messiah (the Little Indian/Judean boy), whose mother was a Virgin/votaress, and crowned him with thorny flowers. He was then turned into a Changeling, namely Jesus, who is allegorically represented on stage as Bottom/Pyramus and crucified in a series of actions that the playwright has taken straight from the Gospels.
