Titania Loves Bottom

Oberon orders Puck to pick a purple flower. This solitary blossom has a unique power. Cupid's misguided arrow hit this specimen of botany. It makes anyone fall in love with the first creature they see. Bottom becomes a victim of Puck's chicanery. The impish little fairy gives Bottom the head of a donkey. Awakening Titania has the flower's nectar in her eyes. She falls in love with Bottom despite his disguise. This is Oberon's way of getting even with his queen. So many other comical situations will be seen. Based on the play "A Midsummer Night's Dream" by William Shakespeare

Wow. This is pretty comical! I've never seen (or read) the play, but you're sure giving me a birdseye view, Robert. Thank you so much! Best always, Gershon
