A Midsummer Night''s Dream: Staged: the origins of YAs greatest tropes
English
By (author): William Shakespeare
With a foreword by Becky Albertalli, author of Imogen, Obviously and Love, Simon
The course of true love never did run smooth
Hermia loves Lysander. But she must marry Demetrius or be condemned to life in a convent. Together, Hermia and Lysander plan to elope to escape their fate. But Helena, Hermias best friend, secretly loves Demetrius and, hoping to win his heart, tells him about the plan.
Deep in the forest, the four unlucky lovers cross paths with Oberon, the jilted fairy king. When a powerful, love-inducing flower is put to nefarious use, a case of multiple mistaken identities sets in motion a night of magic and mayhem that could change all of their lives forever.
A Midsummer Night's Dream is Shakespeares magical romantic comedy of trickery, love triangles and mistaken identities.
