This is a perfect area to practice our play for the Duke
Excuse me?
Before we start rehearsing I think there could be problems with the script
Pyramus draws a sword to kill himself and that would be upsetting for the ladies in the audience
Yes, jolly Bottom?
I will write a prologue that explains I am bottom playing pyramus and not really killing myself
It's a play, they should know it's not real
That's true, what should we do?
Also, the lion is really scary and we don't want to scare the ladies too so I will have to explain that it is not a real lion
Okay, whatever. We have some staging issues. How do we get the moon to shine indoors?
I have looked at the budget and the cheapest way is to have someone hold a lantern and act like the moon
No starveling will do it. We also need to figure out how we are going to depict a wall where Pyramus and Thisbe whisper
I can be the moon
I've got it, snout can wear some plaster and act like a wall.
Okay, let's start rehearsing now
Pyramus you say your line than go off stage
What do we have here?
Got it
Odours! Odours!
This is going to be fun
Thisbe the flowers of odius savours sweet
That's what I said, odours savours sweet
A voice stay thou but here awhile and by and by thee appear
Yes
Am I supposed to talk now?
Most radiant Pyramus, you are as white as a lily and the colour of a red rose on a splendid rosebush, a lively young man. You are as reliable as a horse that never gets tired. I'll meet you Pyramus and Ninny's grave.
That's Ninus you ninny! And don't say all your lines at once. You made Pyramus miss his cue.
Oh okay, As reliable as a horse that never gets tired.
Help! It's a monster run!
If I were handsome my lovely Thisbe, I would still only want you
Why are they running away?
Oh Bottom you have changed! What is on your head?
God bless you bottom, God bless you. You have been changed!
What do you think I have on my head? You are all acting like assess!
I see what they are trying to do! They are trying to make fun of me. Trying to scare me. I will show them that I am not scared.
I will walk around here and sing so they know I am not afraid! (singing)The blackbird with it's black feathers.....
What angel has awoken me from my sleep?
(singing) the finch and the sparrow, and the lark. The gray cuckoo....
Please sign again human! I love the sound of your voice and I love the look of your body.
I don't think that you have much reason to love me
You are wise as you are handsome.
No that's not true. But if I was smart enough to get out of this forest, I'd be wise enough to satisfy myself.
Don't bother wishing you could leave this forest. Come with me I'll give you fairy servants.
Come here fairies
Ready!
I'm Here!
Me too!
Everyone be nice to the stranger. Follow him around, feed him. Everyone say hi.
Where are we going?
