A Midsummer Night's Dream Act 3

In which a company of rustic players gather in a shady wood to rehearse their quaint comedy, whilst a mischievous sprite transforms one among them with an ass’s visage, attracting the love and attention of a slumbering fairy queen. Meanwhile, enchanted interventions by fairy royalty set in motion a confounding dalliance among Athenian lovers, whose ardent affections swiftly turn to quarrels in the moonlit forest.
