Four young lovers run away into a wood outside Athens on a summer night, just when the fairy king Oberon and his queen Titania are quarrelling there. Oberon's mischievous servant Puck squeezes a love potion into the wrong eyes, so the lovers' affections change partners in confusion, and Titania falls in love with Bottom, a weaver whose head Puck has turned into a donkey's. Meanwhile a group of workmen rehearse a hopelessly bad play, Pyramus and Thisbe, for the duke's wedding.
Shakespeare wrote the comedy in the mid-1590s, and it is one of the most often performed of his plays. This is a dramatic reading by a cast of LibriVox volunteers, about two hours.
