    About this audiobook

    Enjoy this InAudio unabridged presentation of William Shakespeare’s A Midsummer Night’s Dream, a fresh new audiobook of the charming and amusing tale of a wedding gone awry.

    This dreamy comedy is entrancing and full of humor and wit, and is sure to keep listeners entertained as they follow the plights of the cast of characters.

    A Midsummer Night’s Dream is one of William Shakespeare’s most well-known comedies, and is arguably one of his most beloved plays. The play tells the tale of the misadventures of the people gathering to participate in their marriage of the Duke of Athens and Hippolyta, former queen of the Amazons. The story is told between four interconnecting plot-lines and with a plethora of zany characters, including an earnest theater troupe, a fairy king, a mischievous spirit, and many others. Follow the story as the characters experience humorous confusion, magical love potions, and unexpected transformations.
