Best Answer

Shakespeare wrote A Midsummer Night's Dream in about 1595, at about the same time he wrote Romeo and Juliet. The Lord Chamberlain's Men were newly formed then. This was one of Shakespeare's most original plots, and featured a great part for Will Kempe in Bottom. Some people have tried to connect the play to somebody's wedding, but weddings are a standard feature of all Shakespearean comedies, and not particularly of this one. There is no reason to think it was composed for a special occasion.
