Hermia loves Lysander, but her father wants her to marry Demetrius. Her best friend, Helena, is in love with Demetrius, but he wants nothing to do with her. And when the four lovers decide to elope into the woods, little do they know that mischievous fairies are on the loose, ready to show that the course of true love never did run smooth. Add into the mix a motley crew of Mechanicals who have met in a woodland glade to rehearse a play, and you have one of Shakespeare’s greatest comedies.
