Midsummer Night’s Dream

by William Shakespeare

Athens.

Four young members of the nobility run away to the forest only to have Puck, Oberon’s fairy, make both of the men fall in love with the same woman.

Why? An honest mistake.

The result? Confusion, despair and a lot of chasing each other.

Incidentally, someone is transformed into a donkey, with whom the Fairy Queen, Titania, promptly falls in love. Also, a wall will make an appearance, as do lion and moonshine.

Lord, what fools these mortals be!
