Ein Sommernachtstraum
Translated by August Wilhelm von Schlegel
"Ein Sommernachtstraum" by William Shakespeare is a comedy play written in about 1595 or 1596. Set in Athens and an enchanted forest, the play weaves together multiple stories: four young lovers caught in romantic confusion, amateur actors rehearsing a wedding performance, and fairy royals engaged in their own quarrels. When mischievous fairies use magical potions to manipulate mortal hearts, chaos and comedy ensue under the moonlight, leading to unexpected entanglements before the Duke's wedding celebration.
