MILTON, DE - Written in 1594, this is British farce at its best. A romp in the woods leads fools, fairies and star-crossed lovers from riotous confusion to the inevitable happy ending. Lysander loves Hermia. Helena loves Demetrius, by whom she was once courted. Demetrius thinks he loves Hermia. Hermia knows she loves Lysander, but is being forced to marry Demetrius. All the young people escape to the woods outside Athens where their problems grow when they cross the paths of feuding Titania and Oberon, the King and Queen of the fairies.
