A
Midsummer Night’s Dream
|
|
In
Athens, Greece, a young man, Demetrius, has a problem. ‘Please,
Hermia. I love you!’
‘No,
Demetrius. I love Lysander!’
‘Love
is never easy! Let’s run away together!’
Helena
is Hermia’s friend. She loves Demetrius.
‘Demetrius,
you know Hermia is running away to the forest with Lysander ...’
‘I’m
going to follow them.’
‘Well,
I’m going to follow you.’
In
the forest, the fairy king Oberon wants to play a trick on Titania,
his queen.
‘Go
and find a magic flower! I’ll put the juice in your eyes. It will
make you fall in love with the first thing you see.’
Oberon
sees Demetrius and Helena. He doesn’t like the way Demetrius talks
to Helena. ‘Helena, go away! I don’t like you!’
‘Puck!
Put this on Demetrius’s eyes so he will fall in love with Helena!’
Puck
sees Lysander sleeping, and thinks it is Demetrius. Lysander wakes up
and sees Helena.
‘Helena,
I love you!’
He
doesn’t love Hermia any more!
A
group of actors are in the forest, practising their play. Puck plays
a trick on them and changes Bottom’s head into a donkey’s.
Naughty Puck! ‘What’s wrong? Hee-haw, hee-haw.’
‘Hee-haw,
hee-haw.’
Titania
falls in love with Bottom!
