One of the most magical and uplifting of Shakespeare’s plays, A Midsummer Night’s Dream is a celebration of love and all its joys.
Escaping the Athenian court to marry, Hermia and Lysander take refuge in a nearby wood. There, too, are Helena and Demetrius and the King and Queen of the fairies, Oberon and Titania. Oberon orchestrates a series of mischievous and magical tricks by which love is transformed, misplaced, deceived, revealed and, finally, restored.
