In this adaptation, we see and clearly understand the family spat between Oberon and Titania and the manner in which this conjugal disagreement affects the efforts of a group of tradesmen rehearsing a play. We delight in the antics of the mischievous Puck. We laugh at the ineptness of the Rustics in trying to stage their play. We chuckle at Bottom's desire to play every role—and we howl with delight at Bottom's ass' head and Titania's infatuation with the monster. The graceful style of this play is highly effective.
