A Midsummer Night's Dream (1985)
Directed by Emile Ardolino
Overview
Theseus has defeated Hippolyta in battle, and now claims her as his bride. But before the nuptials begin, a pair of young lovers flee into the forest to be married, pursued by a pair of not-lovers. There, in the forest, live the fairies whose lives are in turmoil, due to the heated lovers’ quarrels between their rulers, Oberon and Titania. Between the fairies, an ass’s head, the lovers, a troupe of unsuspecting would-be actors, and a magic flower that can make people fall in love at first sight, it’s a merry night of chaos and comedy until everything is put to rights.
