Synopsis:

“The course of true love never did run smooth.”

Shakespeare’s beloved comedy brings together three wonderfully mismatched worlds: the grand court of Athens, a scrappy group of amateur actors rehearsing a play, and a glittering fairy kingdom hidden in the forest. When four young lovers flee the city to follow their hearts, they wander into a place where anything can happen, and usually does. A mischievous fairy named Puck, armed with a magic flower, sends the lovers chasing each other in all the wrong directions, and the queen of the fairies falls head over heels for a buffoonish “ass.” When dawn breaks, love wins, and all that’s left to do is celebrate with three weddings and a play-within-a-play so charmingly terrible it just might steal the show.
