Learning on ScreenMidsummer Nightmare
- Synopsis
- Cartoon directed by John Halas. Puck is introduced to the twentieth century and is as amused by the contemporary obsession with television as he was by the lovers’ antics in Shakespeare’s play. His sense of mischief gets the better of him again in his attempts to induce people to mix together socially once more.
