# A Midsummer Night's Dream

By William Shakespeare.

"A Midsummer Night's Dream" by William Shakespeare is a comedy play written in about 1595 or 1596. Set in ancient Athens, the play weaves together multiple plots converging on a royal wedding celebration. Four young lovers flee into an enchanted forest, while amateur actors rehearse a play for the Duke's wedding. But the woodland realm belongs to feuding fairy rulers who possess magical powers to manipulate mortal hearts and minds. As moonlight bathes the forest, love potions, mistaken identities, and supernatural mischief intertwine in Shakespeare's most beloved comedy. (Summary by Project Gutenberg, written by machine.)
