Theseus and Hippolyta, about to marry, are figures from mythology. In the woods outside Theseus's Athens, two young men and two young women sort themselves out into couples--but not before they form first one love triangle, and then another. Also in the woods, the king and queen of fairyland, Oberon and Titania, battle over custody of an orphan boy; Oberon uses magic to make Titania fall in love with a weaver named Bottom, whose head is temporarily transformed into that of a donkey by a hobgoblin or "puck," Robin Goodfellow. Finally, Bottom and his companions ineptly stage the tragedy of "Pyramus and Thisbe."

disagree that this copy was in "good" condition
The bard's play is wonderful, but my "good" used copy had a bit too much crossing out and or writing over the text from the previous owner. If I had picked it up in a book store I would NOT have paid $4 for this copy.Verified purchase: YesCondition: Pre-owned
