Synopsis

One of the great comedy plays by William Shakespeare, A Midsummer Night’s Dream will delight audiences with the adventures of four young lovers and a group of amateur actors and their interactions with the fairies who inhabit a moonlit forest.

The play features three interlocking plots, connected by a celebration of the wedding of Duke Theseus and Hippolyta, and is set simultaneously outside the city of Athens in a forest surrounded by a realm of fairies or immortals.

When the play begins, quarrels among the mortals in Athens’ court and between the forest’s Fairy King Oberon and Queen Titania are causing havoc. The young lovers flee the Court in order to seek happiness together and find their love strangely twisted by Puck’s fairy mischief and tricks. Only Oberon can set things straight.

Other visitors to the enchanted forest include Bottom (the weaver) and his friends Snug, Snout, Quince, and Flute (the amateur actors who want to rehearse their terrible but hilarious version of the play Pyramus and Thisbe).
