Description

Together with The Tempest, A Midsummer Night's Dream is one of Shakespeare's most magical plays.

One night, two parties creep from Athens into the surrounding forest. One party includes sweethearts Lysander and Hermia, fleeing from Athenian law and the disapproval of Hermia's father to get married. In pursuit is Demetrius, the suitor of Hermia favored by her father, and the doleful Helena, formerly affianced to Demetrius.

Six tradesman (the "rude mechanicals") make up the other party. They hope to present a play at the upcoming nuptials of Theseus, Duke of Athens, and are seeking a private place for rehearsal.

Surveying these disparate interlopers are the forest fairies, whose King Oberon and Queen Titania are engaged in a ferocious marital dispute.

A magical love potion throws all into disarray. Attachments are disrupted, new ones are formed-but finally, conjugal harmony is established between lovers. In the last act the "rude mechanicals" win their chance to present their clumsy dramatic piece to the amusement and satisfaction of the aristocratic audience.
