Rip Van Winkle

Henpecked and seeking refuge from his nagging wife, Rip Van Winkle climbs into the Catskill Mountains, where he encounters a band of mysterious dwarves and their strange bowling game. After drinking far more ale than he should, Rip tumbles into an impossibly deep sleep—one that lasts two decades, leaving him to wake with a foot-long beard and a world transformed beyond recognition.

PuckLysanderHermiaHelenaDemetriusTitaniaOberon

Lysander and Hermia plan to flee the wood to escape her father's demand that she marry Demetrius, but their secret reaches Demetrius—and worse, the fairy king Oberon and his mischievous sprite Puck are already at work in those same woods with a love potion. As the magic juice lands on all the wrong eyelids, a tangle of confused affections spreads through the forest, and Helena finds herself caught in the chaos of suddenly lovesick pursuers. Oberon must reckon with Puck's "mistake"—or was it intentional mischief?
