An adorable, charming play. Magical woods, love potions, fairies, all my favorite things.
Fairies protecting their queen while she sleeps:

Five stars for the play of course but the Arden third edition, though good is inferior to the second edition. It is more extensive in that it’s more baggy and shows not the same depth of knowledge of the previous editor Harold Brooks. This perhaps reflects the trend of regression from Arden’s second to third editions
For my brit lit class this semester.
