As the ladies study A Midsummer Night's Dream, they discover yet again the complexities of Shakespeare's play. They discover that under the glorious poetry, A Midsummer Night's Dream has a complicated structure. The plot, what there is of it is about lovers: lovers being parted by tyrannical fathers, lovers being won in combat, lovers being wooed, lovers moaning about unrequited love, fairy lovers squabbling and disturbing all life around them. Then there are the famous mechanicals who are a counterpoint to the over-the-top love stories. Penelope a very old lady has been invited into the book club. She inadvertently stirs up an old hurt and her own past comes back to haunt and entertain her. Clarissa, known as the kid, for she is merely in her mid-fifties, is conflicted about Steve who has returned to her. What is his place in her heretofore simple life? Hovering over them are Shakespeare's imaginary characters who challenges their intellects, as well as their emotions. They, as always, wrestle with their own love stories, late life marriages, as they struggle to make sense of this beloved play.
