A Midsummer Night's Dream

A discussion-first companion to Shakespeare's gentlest, funniest play, built for a household reading it out loud. Every act opens with a cast page and a plan for who reads whom, so two or three people can cover the whole play. Your reader follows the four lovers, the quarrelling fairies, and Bottom's band of amateur actors through one strange night in the woods, and comes out talking about love, jealousy, and what it takes to make anyone see clearly. Answer key included, so you can open it, hand it over, and trust it. The play is in the public domain; any edition will do.
