Only in the world of the theater can Nat Field find an escape from the
tragedies that have shadowed his young life. So he is thrilled when he
is chosen to join an American drama troupe traveling to London to
perform A Midsummer Night's Dream in a new replica of the famous Globe
theater.
Shortly after arriving in England, Nat goes to bed ill and awakens
transported back in time four hundred years -- to another London, and
another production of A Midsummer Night's Dream. Amid the bustle and
excitement of an Elizabethan theatrical production, Nat finds the warm,
nurturing father figure missing from his life -- in none other than
William Shakespeare himself. Does Nat have to remain trapped in the past
forever, or give up the friendship he's so longed for in his own time?
