But since Hermia’s father wants Demetrius as his son-in-law, the lovers elope to the forest, only to be followed by Hermia’s best friend— Helena—and her suitor.What happens in the forest, which is enchanted by fairies and elves who work around magical flowers and love potions, when the mischievous elf, Puck, is asked to dispense the spell and he mistakenly places the flower’s juice on Lysander’s eyes instead of Demetrius’? Will the lovers be united with their true love?One of Shakespeare’s earlier and most popular romantic comedies, A Midsummer Night’s Dream perfectly blends humour and mirth with reality and romance.

Dhruvswamini (Natak) by Jaishankar Prasad (H.B)
ध्रुवस्वामिनी जयशंकर प्रसाद द्वारा रचित प्रसिद्ध हिन्दी नाटक है। यह प्रसाद की अंतिम और श्रेष्ठ नाट्य-कृति है। इसका कथानक गुप्तकाल से सम्बद्ध और शोध द्वारा इतिहाससम्मत है। यह नाटक इतिहास की प्राचीनता में वर्तमान काल की समस्या को प्रस्तुत करता है। प्रसाद ने इतिहास को अपनी नाट्याभिव्यक्ति का माध्यम बनाकर शाश्वत मानव जीवन का स्वरूप दिखाया है, युग-समस्याओं के हल दिए हैं, वर्तमान के धुंधलके में एक ज्योति दी है, राष्ट्रीयता के साथ-साथ विश्व-प्रेम का सन्देश दिया है। इसलिए उन्होंने इतिहास में कल्पना का संयोजन कर इतिहास की वर्तमान से जोड़ने का प्रयास किया है। रंगमंच की दृष्टि से तीन अंकों का यह नाटक प्रसाद का सर्वोत्तम नाटक है। इसके पात्रों की संख्या सीमित है। इसके संवाद भी पात्रा अनुकूल और लघु हैं। भाषा पात्रों की भाषा के अनुकूल है। मसलन ध्रुवस्वामिनी की भाषा में वीरांगना की ओजस्विता है। इस नाटक में अनेक स्थलों पर अर्थवाक्यों की योजना है जो नाटक में सौंदर्य और गहरे अर्थ की सृष्टि करती है।
