There were these four people. Their names were Demetrius, Lysander, Hermia, and Helena. Demetrius loved Hermia. Helena loved Demetrius. Hermia loved Lysander. Lysander loved Hermia. Hermia's father wanted Hermia to marry Demetrius because back then the parents had the choice to pick who is going to marry their child. Hermia got mad because she really wanted to marry Lysander. And Lysander wanted to marry Hermia. Helena wanted to Demetrius to love her so she asked Hermia how she made herself so beautiful and how do you get your man to love you. Hermia said you won't see us anymore because we are going to be eloping. Lysander and Hermia had to go through the woods to find the place where they would elope.
Helena decided to tell Demetrius so that he would get mad and maybe with her. She thought he would at least like her for telling him about Hermia's plan to marry Lysander. While that was happening, there was a King and a Queen of the Fairies. The King's name was Oberon, and the Queen's name was Titania. The king wanted her to let the mortal boy that they were raising to be his page. She refused to let him use the mortal boy as his page.
Hermia and Lysander were in the woods. Lysander was kind of lost so they decided to rest. Hermia said to sleep away from each other because they were not married yet. While they were asleep, Demetrius was looking for Hermia. But Helena was following him telling him I LOVE YOU I LOVE YOU and she kept saying that. He said I DON'T WANT TO BE WITH YOU. He started to run and Helena follows him even though he doesn't want her to.
Oberon told Puck, his mischievous sprite, to take some petals from this flower to make magic juice to make a person fall in love with the first person that you see. When the King saw Helena and Demetrius fighting, he told Puck to put some of the magic drops in Demetrius' eyes to help him fall in love with Helena. Puck left to go do that. Puck finally found one of the guys, who was actually Lysander but thoguht it was Demetrius. He sprayed some of the juice into his eyes so then he would fall in love with the first woman that he sees. Helena couldn't find Demetrius anymore. She found Lysander and Hermia sleeping far away from each other in the field. Helena thought Lysander was dead so she went to him. She asked him if he was dead but he awakes and falls in love with her because of the juice Puck poured into his eyes. Then Lysander starts telling her he loves her. Helena gets mad and sad too. She thinks that Lysander is lying and being sarcastic, because she knows he loves Hermia. Hermia is her best friend. Lysander runs after Helena.
During the time that was happening, Oberon went to where the Queen of Fairies was and she was asleep. He put the juice on her eyes and said may the first thing you see be ugly. Then Puck made one of the workers from the play turn into donkey-headed man. When he came onstage, everyone got scared of him, because he was a donkey-headed man. He didn't know that he had a donkey head. Titania woke up and saw the donkey-headed man and fell in love with him.
Then Hermia woke up and found out that Lysander was missing- found Demetrius. She started getting mad at Demetrius because she thinks he murdered Lysander. Demetrius told her he didn't kill him. Hermia told Demetrius that even if Lysander is dead that she doesn't want to see Demetrius ever again. Demetrius gets really sad. Oberon puts some of the drops in Demetrius' eyes. Now both Lysander and Demetrius like Helena. They wanted to fight each other with swords to see who could win her. Oberon told Puck to make it dark so that they couldn't hurt each other. When they finally fell asleep, the King of Fairies put a special herb into Lysander's eyes so that he would love Hermia again.
During that the King of Fairies felt guilty finally of putting the juice in his wife's eyes. First he turns the donkey-headed man back into a regular-headed man. And put the reversing herb into his wife's eyes and turned her back to normal again.
Hermia's father was out hunting in the woods where they were. He was with the Duke Theseus. He saw Hermia, Lysander, Helena and Demetrius all asleep in the field on the ground. The father was mad. He made them wake up. Lysander tried to explain what happened, but Hermia's dad said she had to marry Demetrius. Demetrius says that his love for Hermia has melted like snow and that he loves Helena now. The Duke hushes Hermia's father when he was about to say something. The Duke said that Hermia and Lysander and Helena and Demetrius can get married next to him since it was the Duke's wedding day with Hippolyta.
The wedding had entertainment and the actors performed, without donkey-headed actors.
