A Midsummer Night's Dream contains some wonderfully lyrical expressions of lighter Shakespearean themes, most notably those of love, dreams, and the stuff of both, the creative imagination itself.
The story involves two sets of couples (Hermia and Lysander, and Helena and Demetrius) whose romantic cross-purposes get them into troube in two realms. The Duke of Athens and in fairyland where the King and Queen of the Fairies (Oberon and Titania) preside and the impish folk character of Puck or Robin Goodfellow plies his trade.
