Note return to page 1 This short compilation of Bottom's scenes from A MIDSUMMER NIGHT'S DREAM, attributed to the actor Robert Cox, probably dates from the late 1640s or 1650s, when the public playhouses had been shut down by the Puritan government but some groups of actors still dared to act short ‘drolls’ such as this at inns, private houses and fairs.
