A Midsummer Night's Dream and Twelfth Night
Captions available
The idea
A Midsummer Night's Dream sends four Athenian lovers and a troupe of amateur actors into a forest where quarrelling fairies meddle with them. In Twelfth Night, shipwrecked Viola, disguised as the page Cesario, loves Duke Orsino, who loves Countess Olivia, who loves Cesario.
In practice
A magic wood; a disguised twin.
Where people slip
Both end in sorted marriages.
