A whimsical, magic-soaked comedy about love's irrationality and the chaos of desire, where fairies meddle in mortal hearts and all entanglements resolve into joyful pairing.

The lovely Hermia is to wed Demetrius, but she truly cares for Lysander. Hermia's friend, Helena, is in love with Demetrius, while other romantic entanglements abound in the woods, with married fairy rulers Titania and Oberon toying with various lovers and each other.
