Midsummer Night's Dream - Pyramus & Thisbe (Part I)

For more information about choices: http://www.christianfantasy.net/emilycasnyder/midsummer.html#thoughts

Part I of HCH Drama's 2004 production of Shakespeare's "Midsummer Night's Dream" - the play within a play, "Pyramus and Thisbe."

Those afficiandos of HCH drama will recognize several up-and-coming actors among the rude mechanicals, as well as performances from the old guard.

And yes, all the amazing costumes are original designs and hand construction. Nifty, non?

We're having same play the day after tomorrow.

However Pyramus in yours performance really sucks. He speaks too fast. All actors should be male, according to Shakespeare

Hi - please check out the side bar for more information about this video. As for "all Shakespeare's cast were male" - yes, well done. Today's aren't! Happy day!

Likewise, for everyone, please take this production at its own values - the actors were young, learning. Rather than "hate" why not see what one can learn from their own process of learning? Civility is always a wonderful thing.

I played Flute in my Church's production of this play,and I didn't really like to play Thisbe,because she's a wuss!

Eventually (whenever YouTube works with me!) I'll get up the second part of it. We de-wussified Thisbe! :)

Bottom is meant to be a shit actor.

plus it don't HAVE to be all male...

except Thisbe, cos otherwise it sucks if Thisbe's played by a girl...
