Doesn't it?
Damn you!
The main story is centered around a labourer called 'Bottom', who is turned into a donkey by an evil witch. Bottom was an analogy for Centurion Piscus Takus, the evil witch being the Britons oppressed under his rule.
Bottom turns to a pair of lovers for aid, (Plutonia and Henry V) and at first the pair think he's just a plain old stray donkey and so house him in a stable too take care of him.
Bottom manages to spell out a message in the hay on the floor of the stable giving directions to the witch, who turns out to be Plutonia's mother.
Henry is torn between having to dispatch the witch and keeping in with Plutonia, hence "A thought, a thought, my kingdom for a thought!", but the problem is solved by Bottom who points out that the witch gains all her power from her black cat.
Plutonia is roped into a complicated scheme with Bottom and Henry whereby the cat is baked in a pie, then frozen at the bottom of a deep lake just to make sure nobody could revive it, during which time peace reigned throughout the land and Bottom's curse was lifted so he went into the employ of Henry and Plutonia.
Due to the fierce Animal Right's movement active during Elizabethan times, Shakespeare added the famous 'Act VII' during which Plutionia is overcome with remorse, dives into the lake and grabs the pie in order to revive the cat by placing it by a warm fireplace.
Unknown to her and in typical Shakespearean farce she actually grabbed the wrong pie, which contained not the cat, but a frog that had previously belonged to another witch. Hence when the frog defrosted we hear Plutonia's famous line: "I thought I thawed a p***y cat!"
The Midsummer Night's Dream referred to in the title was the classic piece of theatre that Shakespeare was famous for; it turned out that the whole play was dreamed up by the frog while he was lying trapped in a pie at the bottom of the lake.
As well as the addition of the Act VII and its two most memorable lines in English theatrical history, Midsummer Night's Dream also had the distinction of being the first play that the Bard wrote using joined up writing.
