E-text prepared by David Starner, Leah Moser and the Project Gutenbert Online Distributed Proofreading Team "A Fairy Tale in Two Acts Taken from Shakespeare (1763) by William Shakespeare et al." is a theatrical play inspired by the works of Shakespeare, specifically drawing from his iconic "A Midsummer Night's Dream." The book belongs to the genre of drama and was written during the 18th century, a period marked by Enlightenment ideals and a heightened appreciation for the arts. The topic centers around themes of love, transformation, and the whimsical nature of fairy magic, making it a light-hearted exploration of romantic entanglement and mistaken identities. The play unfolds in two acts, engaging the audience with both comedic and enchanting elements. The story features a group of amateur actors led by Quince, who prepare to perform a play for the Duke's wedding. Intertwined with their antics are the fairy realms ruled by Oberon and Titania, who are embroiled in their own romantic disagreements involving a changeling boy. As Oberon seeks to manipulate Titania's affections through a magical flower, the interactions lead to a series of humorous misunderstandings and transformations, particularly involving Bottom, who becomes the object of Titania's enchanted love. Ultimately, the narrative weaves together both the earthly and otherworldly, culminating in the restoration of harmony in the fairy realm and a joyful resolution for the human characters.
