This article records and evaluates the collaboration between translator Erich Fried and director Peter Zadek in the translation of Shakespeare’s play, A Midsummer Night’s Dream, a translation made for the Theater der Freien Hansestadt Bremen, which premièred it on 9 May 1963. Neither Fried nor Zadek ever openly acknowledged the influence that was exercised on Fried by Zadek in the course of translation, or the later influence of Zadek and the actors in the course of rehearsals.
