See Scene Settings.
Shakespeare's A Midsummer Night's Dream (see here) begins:
ACT I
SCENE I. Athens. The palace of Theseus.
Enter THESEUS, HIPPOLYTA, PHILOSTRATE, and Attendants.
This is followed by dialogue.
Shakespeare's The Tempest begins:
ACT 1
SCENE I. On a ship at sea: a tempestuous noise
of thunder and lightning heard.
Enter a Master and a Boatswain
This is followed by dialogue.
Now maybe we have set the scene for rereading Poul Anderson's A Midsummer Tempest? Except that, at this time of night, I will instead return to Stieg Larsson's The Girl With The Dragon Tattoo. Never a dull moment with authors like these. I trust that we will reconvene here tomoz?

Kaor, Paul!
Except first I plan to reread THREE HEARTS AND THREE LIONS before going on to A MIDSUMMER TEMPEST. Partly because THREE HEARTS is where we first meet Holger Carlsen, who also shows ups, briefly, in TEMPEST.
Ad astra! Sean
