Some Athenian tradesmen rehearsing a play for the forthcoming wedding of Duke Theseus and his bride Hippolyta unintentionally add to the hilarity. The result is a marvelous mix-up of desire and enchantment merriment and farce all touched by Shakespeares inimitable vision of the intriguing relationship between art and life dreams and the waking world.
