| The course of true love never did run smooth…
Lysander loves Hermia, and Hermia loves Lysander. Egeus doesn’t approve. Nor does Theseus. Helena loves Demetrius; Demetrius used to love her but now loves Hermia.
Lord, what fools these mortals be!
But things are just as bad in the fairy world...
Marital discord, bestiality, a custody battle, third-rate theatre, insubordinate servants – what is this? Shakespeare’s tale of disorder, love, intrigue, magic, celebration and reconciliation is a perennial favourite which has enchanted audiences for four centuries and continues to hold them in its thrall…
If we shadows have offended,
Think but this, and all is mended,
That you have but slumber'd here
While these visions did appear. |
