Shakespeare's enduring characters are set adrift in present-day Athens, but a present with a massive difference – an alternative history. Rigid class systems and 'god given' monarchies of the past have not been lost. Modern technologies meet ancient tradition; and the citizens of Athens are frustrated by continuing restrictions and hierarchies.

Only the forest, home to the fairies and fey spirits, can offer the illicit lovers what they seek.
