Drama Entry-Midsummer Night's Dream

In Drama we are performing " A Mid-summer Night Dream" of William Shakespeare. The play is about a fairy and a human world, of love messes and disasters. I play the role of Oberon, the fairy king and husband of Titania. He and Titania fight over a boy that Oberon wanted as his henchmen. To make Titania madly love him again he sends Puck to take a flower who's liquor would make "man or woman madly in love with the next living creature it lays its eyes upon." They make peace. He helps also the four human protagonists: Hermia, Demetrius, Helena, and Lysander, to put things in order. But Puck mixes up the two man. Instead of making Demetrius in love with Helena and Lysander with Hermia, he makes both of the boys madly in love with Helena, which before wasn't liked by anyone. Puck repeats the magic and things go the right way. Lysander with Hermia marry, and Demetrius with Helena also do.
