About "A Midsummer Night's Dream" (From the Cincinnati Shakespeare Company website): On an enchanted summer's evening three stories are woven together into one tale of hilarity and folly. Four young lovers find themselves entangled in a bewildering game of love in a magical forest where a powerful fairy king and queen are at war while a troupe of ridiculous "actors" attempts to rehearse a play.
