A group of laborers meets at Quince's house to rehearse a play that they will perform for the wedding of Theseus and Hippolyta...
|
|
|
|
 | |  |
| Marry, our play is "The most lamentable comedy and most cruel death of Pyramus and Thisbe." | |
 | |  |
|
 |
| | |
| A very good piece of work, I assure you, and a merry. Now, good Peter Quince, call forth your actors by the scroll. | |
| | |

Peter Quince assigns parts for the play...
|
|
|
|
| | |
| An I may hide my face, let me play Thisbe too. I'll speak in a monstrous little voice... | |
| | |
|
 |
| | |
| No, no, you must play Pyramus-and, Flute, you Thisbe. | |
| | |
|
|
|
|
Nick Bottom insists on playing every part...
|
|
|
|
| | |
| You can play no part but Pyramus, for Pyramus is a sweet-faced man, a proper man as one shall see in a summer's day... | |
| | |
|
|
| | |
| Well, I will undertake it. What beard were I best to play it in? | |
