Hermia loves Lysander, but her father doesn’t approve. Instead he wants her to marry
her other suitor, Demetrius (who Hermia’s best-friend Helena has a huge crush on).
Hermia and Lysander plot to run away so they can be together, but Hermia tells
Demetrius of their plan in order to try to score points with him. Demitrius follows Hermia
and Lysander into the woods and Helena follows him.
It’s there that the four lovers attract the attention of Oberon, the king of the fairies who is
currently sparring with his queen, Titania. Oberon sends his mischievous assistant,
Puck, to use a magic flower to make Demetrius fall in love with Helena. Puck mixes the
humans up, though, and accidentally makes Lysander fall in love with Helena instead.
Meanwhile, a troupe of bumbling actors run into Puck too, and the egotistical Botttom
soon finds himself with a donkey’s head. It all gets a lot more mixed up before it gets
fixed again, because as Lysander says, “the course of true love never did run smooth.”
