A Midsummer Night’s Dream is one of Shakespeare’s most beloved comedies. In a magical forest, the king and queen of the fairies are at odds again. The troublemaking fairies also find sport in playing with the mortals who have sought refuge in the forest. Meanwhile, the Duke of Athens is making plans to marry the Queen of the Amazons, and a group of rough-hewn workers are attempting to prepare a play for the wedding reception.
