When four young lovers flee the city to follow their hearts\, they wander into a place where anything can happen\, and usually does. A mischievous fairy named Puck\, armed with a magic flower\, sends the lovers chasing each other in all the wrong directions\, and the queen of the fairies falls head over heels for a buffoonish “ass.” When dawn breaks\, love wins\, and all that’s left to do is celebrate with three weddings and a play-within-a-play so charmingly terrible it just might steal the show.

When four young lovers flee the city to follow their hearts\, they wander into a place where anything can happen\, and usually does. A mischievous fairy named Puck\, armed with a magic flower\, sends the lovers chasing each other in all the wrong directions\, and the queen of the fairies falls head over heels for a buffoonish “ass.” When dawn breaks\, love wins\, and all that’s left to do is celebrate with three weddings and a play-within-a-play so charmingly terrible it just might steal the show.
