Te most misunderstood dramatic technique would be that which might be called half false and half true...I would rather endure a mixture of incongruities; they , a least, are free of falsity. Shakespeare's error is not the greatest a poet can fall into; it merely indicates paucity of false" (Nagler 325-326). This essay is showing us tat if you want to make the play accessible to the audience you have to show them either one side or the other, or in Shakespeare's case, give the audience a clear mixture of te two so that the audience can floow along without getting side tracked.
The set can also vary along the line of mythical and reality. The forest can be made to illuminate in a certain way to show the faerie world, but still keep the sense of reality along with it. This can be done with all aspects of the show.
