About this audiobook
Hermia is in love with Lysander, but her father demands she marry Demetrius. When the two young lovers flee into the woods, they are followed by the spurned Helena, who dotes on Demetrius, and a troupe of bumbling workmen rehearsing a play. But they are not alone. Oberon and Titania, the King and Queen of the Fairies, are locked in a bitter quarrel. To teach his queen a lesson, Oberon instructs his mischievous servant, Puck, to use a magical flower that will make her fall in love with the first creature she sees.
What follows is a night of hilarious confusion, mistaken identities, and enchanted passion. As fairy magic weaves its spell, lovers’ hearts are tangled, an ass-headed weaver becomes the object of a queen’s affection, and the line between dream and reality blurs.
One of Shakespeare’s most beloved and enduring comedies, A Midsummer Night’s Dream is a spellbinding exploration of the follies of love, the magic of imagination, and the restorative power of dreams.
