Description
Errors and confusion in a shimmering summer night: Oberon, the king of the fairies, and his queen Titania have fallen out with each other and are living apart but in the same forest near Athens.
In the same location, two pairs of lovers have lost their way: Helena who loves Demetrius who loves Hermia who loves Lysander who loves Helena … A plot with great potential for complications. Oberon feels sorry for the lovers – the magic flower belonging to his servant Puck should help to solve all problems. This however has the opposite effect as Puck’s magic causes the person to fall in love with the first creature he or she sees! Thus Titania suddenly regards the simpleton Bottom with the ass’s head as the god of love. In addition, there is the troupe of craftsmen who rehearse the play ‘Pyramus and Thisbe’ for the wedding of Theseus and thereby initiate further confusion. The midsummer night becomes a labyrinth of encounters and emotions; in culmination, Oberon and Titania are confronted with utter chaos.
