Written at the peak of Shakespeare's romantic comedy production, "A Midsummer Night's Dream" follows the fraught path of a group of lovers which ultimately leads to the marriages of King Theseus of Athens and Hippolyta, Queen of the Amazons, and the binding of two young couples from the Athens. It all begins when Oberon, King of the fairies, decides to meddle with the troubled relationships of the Athenian couples with the help of Puck, a lively sprite who gives love potions to the wrong people. The following madness is brought to an end when the royal couple is entertained by a ridiculous and comedic play performed by a group of uncultured players who have also had their share of magically induced love mixups as they journey through the woods.
