Fairies are afoot in a midnight wood where the nobility scampers and sleeps. Wedded bliss is in the air, but so is Puck, whose spells sting and subdue, to his delight. The rustics are there, too, especially Bottom, who cavorts with the Fairy Queen. There's a play in the dream, and a dream at play. Key characters: Puck, Bottom, Helena. — Mike Hare
