Lord, what fools these mortals be! On the eve of Theseus and Hippolyta’s wedding, four young lovers run off into the forest where another group of Athenians are rehearsing a play. They walk into a magical realm where Titania, the Queen of the Fairies and her king, Oberon argue over the fate of a changeling child. With some mischief, love potions, and a donkey tale the lovers get mismatched and one of the actors wows the fairy queen.
