Although we gladly let ourselves be seduced by moonlight magic, fairy dust, and bridal-bed blessings, we wonder at the end of this play how long the "happy ending" will last. We also look with a sharper eye at our own wanderings in the forest of love, and at the pain we inflict when we tell someone we once loved to "get lost."

"Lord, what fools these mortals be!" proclaims the goblin Puck; and the Fairy Queen makes a fool of herself over an ass.

Note: This program has been re-edited, re-mixed, and put in a letterbox format. It was an excellent production before. Now it is even better! (The classroom version remains the same.)
