On the eve of the state wedding of Duke Theseus and Amazon Queen Hippolyta, the lovely Hermia is threatened with death if she does not marry Demetrius, her father’s sanctioned choice. Instead, she flees with her earnest lover Lysander through the forest to find a place where they may wed. Pursued by Demetrius and the lovelorn Helena, they enter a supernatural world where a warring fairy queen and king, a Hobgoblin named Puck, and a group of incompetent actors rehearsing a play for the festive wedding turn their midsummer night’s dream into a comical nightmare.
