Heyya
I've only written one story on here so far (though I have many many ideas) but this one came to me just now, and ahh what the heck I can't help but write it! So, I present to you... Midsummer's Nights Dream = Total Drama Style.
So, how will this look?
Well, I've got the old text and a modern version (I did one myself once, but now I'm reading someone else's modern version) and I'm going to basically out what the characters would do if they if it were them, and not in Shakespeare times. So some who are more familiar with the script might find certain jokes funnier, because you understand what that character really said and can compare...
But here's the basics:
The supernatural characters:
Oberon, King of Fairies - Chris
Titania, Queen of Fairies - Izzy
Puck, a.k.a. Robin Goodfellow, servant to Oberon - Chef
Titania's fairy servants (her "train") -
First Fairy - DJ
Peaseblossom, fairy - Eva
Cobweb, fairy – Beth
Moth, fairy – Gwen
Mustardseed, fairy - Cody
The Athenians:
Theseus, Duke of Athens, good friend of Egeus - Geoff
Hippolyta, Queen of the Amazons and betrothed of Theseus - Bridgette
Egeus, father of Hermia, wants to force Hermia to get married to Demetrius - Noah
Lysander, beloved of Hermia - Trent
Hermia, beloved of Lysander - Lindsay
Helena, in love with Demetrius - Courtney
Demetrius, in love with Hermia - Duncan
Philostrate, Master of the Revels for Theseus - Ezekiel
The acting troupe (also known asThe Mechanicals):
Peter Quince, carpenter, who leads the troupe - Harold
Nick Bottom, weaver; he plays Pyramus in the troupe's production of "Pyramus and Thisbe," and gets a donkey head put on him by Puck so that Titania will magically fall in love with a monster. - Owen
Francis Flute, the bellows-mender who plays Thisbe. - Tyler
Robin Starveling, the tailor who plays Moonshine. – LeShawna
Tom Snout, the tinker who plays the wall. - Justin
Snug, thejoinerwho plays the lion. - Heather
