A Midsummer Night’s Dream - Activity Kit
Synopsis
A Midsummer Night’s Dream* is a comedy by William Shakespeare that intertwines the lives of lovers, fairies, and actors. Set in Athens and a mystical forest, the play follows four young lovers who find themselves caught in a chaotic love triangle, complicated by the meddling of mischievous fairy Puck. Meanwhile, the fairy king Oberon and queen Titania are at odds, leading to magical mischief involving a love potion. The play also features a group of amateur actors rehearsing a play for the Duke’s wedding. Through enchantments, mistaken identities, and comedic situations, harmony is eventually restored, and the characters find love and resolution.
