Synopsis: The Duke’s wedding approaches! Love (and dirty laundry) is in the air! When Hermia is told she has to marry Demetrius or face grave consequences, she and Lysander, the guy she actually wants to marry, run away together into the forest. Helena, Hermia’s friend, tells Demetrius, who she loves, of this elopement and 4 lovers end up wandering the woods. In the forest, Oberon, the fairy king, and Titania, the fairy queen, are having an argument, as they always do. To teach Oberon a lesson, Titania sends Puck, her fairy trickster, to find a flower with love-potion-like effects with the aim of making Oberon fall in love with some grotesque thing. Titania and Puck end up entangled in the lovers’ mess as they try to use the flower to make each pair love their corresponding suitor, with mixed results. Meanwhile, a group of well-intentioned workers from the city meet in the woods to rehearse a play. Puck stumbles across them and discovers the “ass” who Oberon is to love. This messy rom-com full of high emotions and magic is one of Shakespeare’s most beloved and accessible plays.
