A Midsummer Night's Dream

Image

Four Athenian youths reject their parents’ efforts to interfere in their romantic lives, and
choose to run away instead of facing the love-limiting laws of the land. Lost in the
surrounding wilderness, the lovers stumble upon a fairy kingdom in conflict; a spat between
the fairy king and queen so great it threatens to alter the earth’s orbit and suspend its
seasons. A group of laborers, secretly rehearsing their play for a royal competition, also
wander unwittingly into the middle of the fairy battle. Mayhem ensues, and Shakespeare
confirms we can all prove an ass when in love.
