JM Barrie's play was written in 1917. An odd assortment of guests are warned against going into the woods for it is Midsummer Eve (there are no woods in the neighborhood, but legend says that it sometimes appears). A philanderer, his young wife and the current object of his affections; an artist who has lost faith in himself and his wife who despises him; indolent lady and a delightful old couple venture into the forest that appears outside the windows and find dreams and desires answered. When they return, they gradually revert to their former state, but not without a memory of the wood.
Act 1: The Drawing Room of 'Sinister Warren', Lob's house in a remote part of England.
Act 2: The Wood.
Act 3: Back in the Drawing Room.
It is Midsmmer's Eve.
