Threatened with a marriage she does not want, Hermia escapes from Athens with her boyfriend, Lysander, into the moonlit woods. But their troubles spiral when they – along with a band of amateur actors – fall under mischievous Puck’s spell, tumbling into a dream world where illusion and reality are hilariously confused.
