William Shakespeare's comedy, usually dated to about 1595. As the wedding of Theseus, Duke of Athens, and Hippolyta approaches, two pairs of young lovers flee into the forest, where the fairy king Oberon and his servant Puck meddle with a love potion and a group of Athenian workmen rehearse the play of Pyramus and Thisbe for the wedding.
This school edition prints the text from the Riverside edition edited by Richard Grant White, with an introduction, notes and a study of the play by Laura Emma Lockwood of Wellesley College. The appendix covers the plot, time, the fairies and the play as adapted for amateur performance.
