Plot synopsis: Goodreads writes of the play, “One night two young couples run into an enchanted forest in an attempt to escape their problems. But these four humans do not realize that the forest is filled with fairies and hobgoblins who love making mischief”. Meanwhile, a group of working men are preparing a play of the tragic love story of Pyramus and Thisbe to present before the Duke Theseus on his wedding day. Goodreads continues, “When Oberon, the Fairy King, and his loyal hobgoblin servant, Puck, intervene in human affairs, the fate of these young couples is magically and hilariously transformed.” (goodreads.com)
