Synopsis:
Just as celebrations for Theseus’s wedding with his reluctant bride-to-be, Hippolyta, are about to get underway, the Duke’s court is interrupted by a squabble between Hermia’s lover, Lysander, and her wealthy father, Egeus, who demands that she marry his choice for her, Demetrius, or be put to death. In another realm, Titania, Queen of the Fairy World, is squabbling with her lover, Oberon, who wants custody of a changeling boy under her care. Meanwhile, a group of workers moonlighting as actors gather to rehearse a play they hope to perform for Theseus in honor of his wedding.
