Yesterday, during a documentary on "Midsummer Night's Dream," it was mentioned that it was written in the same year as "Romeo and Juliet," and that the play-within-a-play ("Pyramus and Thisbe" -- put on by the "Rude Mechanicals") was a spoof of R&J.

Now, I've this idea stuck in my head that Will's inner critic was hammering away at him, as he wrote Romeo's and Juliet's death scene, about how amateurish it was, and melodramatic, and unbelievable. So, to shut his Inner Critic up, he wrote the something deliberately bad ... only he ended up thinking it was really rather funny, and good, in it's own way. So he wrote Midsummer Night's Dream around it.

...Probably not true at all. But I like imagining it.
