Act 2. That's when the fairies start showing up. Of course you might say it's in Act 2 Scene 2, when you hear that a bunch of Greek artisans have names like Bottom and Snout. Yeah, right. Or even in Act 1 Scene 1 when you find out that the legendary ancient Greek king Theseus is being called a Duke.
Basically this play does not create much of an illusion of reality. Shakespeare knew that good plays do not do that. The audience needs to suspend its disbelief and temporarily believe that fairies exist, that Bottom is a Greek name, that they had Dukes in ancient Athens, that what it obviously a stage is really a forest, and that people you know are actors (because it says so in the program) are actually Dukes and weavers and fairies. And this is actually quite possible and not painful at all--people have been doing it for hundreds of years.
In the nineteenth century, Sir Herbert Beerbohm Tree famously produced A Midsummer Night's Dream with real live rabbits on the stage. He thought, no doubt, that the rabbits would make the play seem more real. But it's not supposed to seem real, so Tree was wasting his time.

Why was Shakespeare named Shakespeare?
Some people think that Shakespeare is Italian and that his real name: Michelangelo Florio Crollalanza was later translated to Shakespeare. Crolla= to shake or break, Lanza( lancia )= spear, so Crollalanza = Shakespeare, but it's just a theory, it's never been proven. The more acceptable theory is that he took his father's surname, and because his father's surname was Shakespeare, he had the same surname, just like virtually everyone else in England then and now.
