A Midsummer Night's Dream is a ballet based on the romantic comedy by William Shakespeare (c. 1595–1596) portraying four Athenian lovers—Hermia, Lysander, Demetrius, and Helena—who flee into a magical forest. Controlled by fairies Oberon, Titania, and the mischievous Puck, they experience chaotic, dream-like, and enchanted adventures and ultimately finding love and reconciliation.
