Based on the plays by Shakespeare, this 4-part series presents modernised versions of William Shakespeare's greatest tales. During an engagement party thrown by Theo and Polly for their daughter Hermia and Theo, a man she grew up with but doesn't really love, Hermia's true love Xander shows up. After Hermia declares her engagement to James is off, it becomes clear that her best friend Helena has been in love with James all along. When the King and Queen of the Fairies (themselves feuding) decide to straighten things out with a love potion, their meddling goes terribly wrong and the relationships between all those involved become even murkier than they were.
