Shakespeare's enduring characters are set adrift in present-day Athens, but a present with a massive difference - an alternative history.
Chaos reigns as jealous, meddlesome fairies and a powerful love potion combine, plunging four young Athenian lovers into romantic turmoil.
Rigid class systems and `god given' monarchies of the past have not been lost. Modern technologies meet ancient tradition; and the citizens of Athens are frustrated by continuing restrictions and hierarchies. Only the forest, home to the fairies and fey spirits can offer the illicit lovers what they seek.
