A Midsummer Night's Dream (2009) - Plot & Excerpts
The wood was close to Theseus’s house, which made it handy. Oberon had chosen it for the same reason. He was king of the fairies, and wanted to bless the happy couple, too. Trouble was, he and Titania were in the middle of a terrific row over an Indian boy that she had and he coveted. Cottingley Wood wasn’t very big, and the two were almost certain to bump into each other while staying there. To make matters worse, Oberon had brought along his attendant, Puck, a mischievous elf who was also known as Robin Goodfellow. On the evening Hermia and Lysander were due to meet in the wood, Puck encountered a fairy there. ‘Hi,’ grinned the elf. ‘Where’ve you blown in from?’ ‘Everywhere,’ answered the fairy. ‘I serve our queen, Titania. It means a lot of travelling.’ She glanced about her. ‘In fact, I’d better be getting on – she’s due here any minute with her retinue.’ Puck pulled a face. ‘That’s awkward. King Oberon’ll be here shortly with his. You’d better warn your mistress: he’s still mad at her.’ The fairy looked at the elf.
