In Act 1 Scene 1, Egeus wants Hermia to marry Demetrius but she doesn't want to because she loves Lysander. Egeus is threatening Hermia to kill her if she doesn't marry him to kill her. We also learn that a girl named Helena also used to date Demetrius but Demetrius saw Hermia and broke up with her. Theseus, the duke, gives Hermia until his wedding day to decide whether to be a nun, die, or marry Demetrius. Lysander comes up with a plan to go to his Grandma's house with Hermia, where the rules of Athens can't touch them, and get married. They tell Hermia as well.
In Act 1 Scene 2, Helena decides to tell Demetrius on the off chance that Demetrius will thank her for helping him and might love her. We are also introduced to the new characters Bottom, Goodfellow, Snout, Quince, Puck, Flute, Starveling, and Snug. They practice the play that they will be playing at Theseus wedding.
