Act 3, scene 1: Into the woods

In the woods where the moon and the animals speak, where imagination rules and the hard facts of science become alien, we discover Titania on her bower - an alchemist's egg, out of which the universe was hatched. Surrounded by a fairy ring made of umbrella mushrooms that provide convenient magical circles where fairies and witches meet, dance and sing at night.
