As I recall, Dream only wanted two dream plays. One was Midsummer, as you said. The other is the Tempest, which forms the framework of the final issue of the comic. It isn't really a dream play, but Dream considers it relevant to his life. I think Neil Gaiman linked the two as "dreams" because of their elaborate fantasy structure . . . and parts of the Tempest, like Ariel's pranks and the masque of shadow-gods that Prospero creates, do seem very dreamlike.
If there was a third play mentioned, I don't remember it. Hope this helps, though.Posted by Amos on April 15, 1997 at 22:25:08
