There's trouble in the forests as the quarrelling between Oberon, king of the fairies, and his wife Titania grows worse. When a pair of young lovers, fleeing from an arranged marriage that will see them separated forever, arrive in the woods, it's the beginning of a long midsummer night of chaos and magic.
