About this listen

 Step into a world of enchantment with A Midsummer Nights Dream, where magic and mischief abound! In this whimsical tale crafted by Shakespeare, we meet the Duke of Athens, Theseus, who is eagerly preparing for his wedding. However, chaos ensues when Egeus demands that his daughter Hermia marry Demetrius, despite her love for Lysander. Fleeing into the depths of a mystical forest, Hermia and Lysander are pursued by Demetrius, while Helena, hopelessly in love with Demetrius, trails behind. Amidst this romantic entanglement, the fairy king Oberon and queen Titania are locked in a fierce dispute, and the mischievous Puck is set loose to stir further trouble. With a donkey-headed Bottom and a troupe of bumbling actors rehearsing their own play, hilarity and confusion reign supreme. In the end, love is restored, dreams are woven together, and Puck reminds us that it was all merely a delightful dream. Join us for an unforgettable journey filled with laughter, love, and a sprinkle of magic!
