A Midsummer Night's Dream immerses readers in a world of magic and mischief with the line:

‘My Oberon! what visions have I seen!
Methought I was enamoured of an ass.’

When four young lovers flee from Athens and become lost in an enchanted wood, they stumble into a fairy world where King Oberon and Queen Titania are feuding over ownership of a young Indian prince. Seeking revenge on Titania, Oberon, and his servant Puck, begin a magical, yet farcical chain of events where all become interwoven in a comedic and mischievous play about the difficulties of love.
