Résumé

He could mingle sublimity with pathos, bitterness with joy and peace and love'' Aldous Huxleybr>br>In one of Shakespeare''s most perennially popular comedies a young woman, Hermia, flees ancient Athens with her lover, only to be pursued by her would-be husband and her best friend. Unwittingly, all four find themselves in an enchanted forest where fairies and sprites take an interest in human affairs, dispensing magical love potions and casting mischievous spells. Slapstick collides with courtly romance and confusion ends in harmony, as love is transformed, misplaced and ultimately restored.br>br>Used and Recommended by the National Theatrebr>br>General Editor Stanley Wellsbr>Edited by Stanley Wells br>Introduction by Helen Hackett>
