summary
In this classic comedy by William Shakespeare, a group of lovers and actors venture into the mystical forest outside Athens, where mischievous fairies rule and love is in the air. As the fairy king and queen quarrel and meddle with the humans, magical mishaps ensue, including manipulated desires and hilarious misunderstandings. Meanwhile, a troupe of bumbling amateur actors bumble their way through a production of "Pyramus and Thisbe," with uproarious consequences. A Midsummer Night's Dream is a tale of love and enchantment, full of witty wordplay, fantastical characters, and a whimsical spirit that has delighted audiences for centuries.
