SYNOPSIS:
This classic Shakespearean comedy weaves together three stories of love, revenge and magic. The first is the misadventures of four lovelorn youths who find themselves the victims of fairy mischief. The second story is one of stubborn conflict between the fairy king and queen. The last is a story of the struggles that a group of simple craftsmen have as they try to stage a play for the Duke’s wedding. The parallel plots weave in and out of one another causing a frenzy of chaos and confusion only to have all put to rights by magical trickster Puck in the end.
