         HELENA: So methinks,                                                                                                                                                                     And I have found Demetrius, like a jewel,                                                                                                                   Mine own and not mine own.

         DEMETRIUS: Are you sure                                                                                                                                                               That we are awake?

Act IV, scene i. (A Midsummer Night's Dream)

It's a hot summer's eve in suburban London. Shakespeare's famous foursome are celebrating their joint 15th year wedding anniversary.

Drowning in domestic bliss & expensive fizz, Mia & Zander play host as Hel talks shop; yet Demetrius is restless. His secret is sure to devastate the middle class festivities...

Years after their night of romantic madness in the woods, the peevish spell of love has at last evaporated and Demetrius has woken up to his reality. Could his personal crisis unravel the marital status quo for these 30 something couples?

What happens when the course of true love reaches the end of the road?

One thing is for certain, these mortals are well and truly Puck'd.
