1. Narrator:

In Ancient Greece there is a girl named Hermia who loves a young man Lysander. However, her father says she must marry Demetrius but she does not want to. She and Lysander escape to a forest.

Helena is Hermia’s friend and loves Demetrius.

Helena and Demetrius also run away to the forest. Soon, they get tired and they fall asleep under the trees.

In the forest, there is Nick Bottom, an actor and his group, who are putting on a play. Farther through the forest the queen of fairies Titania is arguing with her husband, Oberon who is very angry with her. So, he sends Puck, the playful sprite, to bring the juice from the love flower to make her love him again.

2. Puck:

Ha, ha! I’ll play a trick on all these people! I’ll turn this man to a donkey. Abracadabra! You, Nick Bottom, are a donkey! (Nick becomes a donkey)

3. Oberon: (angrily)

Give me the magic juice. I’ll put some of it in Titania’s eyes myself. When she wakes up, she will fall in love with the first one she sees. This will be me.

4. Titania:

Where am I? (Looking at Nick Bottom) Oh, my love! Who are you? You are so handsome!

5. Nick: (running away)

Help! Help!

4. Titania:

Where are you going my love! Come back to me!

2. Puck:

Ha, ha, ha! Let me put some flower juice in Lysander’s eyes now.

Lysander: (wakes up and sees Helena)

Oh, I am desperately in love with you! How beautiful you are!

6. Helena:

What’s wrong with you? Don’t you love Hermia any longer?

7. Lysander:

Hermia? Who is she? You are my love!

2. Puck:

Ha, ha, ha! Let me put some flower juice in Demetrius’ eyes now.

8. Demetrius: (wakes up and sees Hermia)

Oh, my darling Hermia! You are the prettiest girl in the world. I love you deeply and truly!

9. Hermia: (sadly)

Oh, where is Lysander? Why isn’t he with me? He is my true love! (She is crying)

3. Oberon: (angrily)

Come here Puck! Put everything back to normal.

2. Puck:

All the play is just a dream! Everything that happens on a midsummer night in a magic forest is a dream.
