Testo inglese a fronte Fate e folletti popolano il mondo fantastico di questa commedia di Shakespeare, lieve e raffinata, in cui amori e tradimenti si susseguono con comicità e grazia incantevole. Dalla bellissima Titania, regina delle fate, innamorata perdutamente di un uomo dalla testa d'asino, al comico e irresistibile Bottom fino al capriccioso folletto Puck, i cui errori nel somministrare i filtri d'amore muovono le sottili trame della vicenda. Una commedia lieve e briosa, ricca di improvvisazioni e colpi di scena, che inaugura un nuovo tipo di rappresentazione nel panorama shakespeariano.
