The magical story of star-crossed lovers, overly ambitious homespun clowns and misadventures with fairies.  The action begins at the court of Theseus of Athens and his new wife, Hippolyta, queen of the Amazons.  We then move to the mystical forest inhabited by Oberon and Titania, king and queen of the fairies. And of course, Puck. This is one of Shakespeare's most popular and often produced plays.
