Drama Feuding fairies wreak havoc on mismatched lovers in director Nicholas Hytner's immersive promenade staging of Shakespeare's forest fantasy, which was recorded live on the stage of the Bridge Theatre in London. Hermia loves Lysander but her father Theseus decrees that he wants her to marry Demetrius, for whom she feels nothing. Her mother Hippolyta sympathises but is powerless to say anything, so Hermia and Lysander elope under cover of darkness to the nearby forest.
