A cleverly compressed version of Shakespeare's classic comedy,
this adaptation preserves the original poetry while simplifying
the language and adding practical stage directions. The story is
framed by the Dreamer, a modern student frustrated in her
attempts to memorize (and make sense of) a Midsummer
monologue. As she begins to nod off, the Dreamer is visited by
Puck, an impish fairy who sweeps the sleeping girl into the play
itself-a world of mischief, magic, and love.
