Shakespear- Mid Summer Night's Stream
(GameMaster)
A Midsummer Night's Dream, probably about 1595 (Summary)Act I: Theseus, Duke of Athens, is preparing to marry Hippolyta in his palace. He is solving a dispute between Egeus (who wants his daughter, Hermia, to marry Demetrius) and Lysander, who has Hermia's love. Theseus declares that Hermia must marry D emetrius as the law specifies, or marry no one. Hermia and Lysander plan to escape to the woods and elope, and they tell Helena. Helena loves Demetrius, and plans to impress him by telling him of the lovers' plans. In the wood, six laborers meet to arrang e the production of a play for Theseus's wedding.
Act II: In the wood, a Fairy talks with Robin Goodfellow about how Oberon, King of the Fairies, is mad that his wife Titania has stolen an Indian child from him. To get him, Oberon tells Puck to find and use a magic flower's juice to make Titania f all in love with a beast. Meanwhile, Oberon pities Helena's grief at Demetrius hating her, and tells Puck to also use the juice to make Demetrius love Helena.
Act III: Puck (Robin) accidently puts the juice on Lysander instead of Demetrius. He then turns Bottom's head into that of an ass, for Titania. Oberon sees Puck's mistake, tells him to anoint Demetrius, and now both are following Helena, leading he r to believe they are mocking her. Hermia does not know what to think, as the two men begin to fight. Titania is so entranced with Bottom that she freely gives up the Indian boy. Now Oberon tells Puck to release her from the spell and fix the lover's quad rangle.
Act IV: Theseus and Hippolyta enter the woods for their marriage. They find the lovers, and despite Egeus' request, Theseus declares that since all four are happy (Demetrius with Helena and Lysander with Hermia), they shall all be married on the sa me day. Bottom finds himself restored, and so the play be performed.
Act V: At the wedding, Theseus asks for the play "Pyramus and Thisbe," and it is performed. It is awful. The married people retire to bed, and Puck ends the play with a nice anecdote.
