"Hippolyta! Our wedding is only four days 

away! I cannot wait to become man and wife, 

and spend all eternity with you!", proclaims 

Theseus. 

"Oh Theseus, The next four days will be 

torture as we await our wedding", says 

Hippolyta. 

"Theseus! You must talk some sense into my 

daughter. I have ordered her to marry 

Demetrius and she refuses to do so!", shouted 

Egeus. 

"Egeus, you must tell your daughter, Hermia, 

that she will marry Demetrius, die, or become 

a nun forever. Tell her she has four days to 

decide.", orders Theseus. 

"My daughter, Hermia, I have spoken with 

Theseus and he has given you the following 

options: marry Demetrius, become a nun, 

or die. Theseus has given you 3 days to 

make your decision. "

"But dad! I don't like Demetrius I love 

Lysander. How dare you make me make 

these decisions! Lysander here is who I will 

marry, not Demetrius. I will do everything 

to make this possible." exclaims a very 

upset Hermia. 

"Lysander, my father and Egeus have proclaimed that I 

marry Demetrius, join a convent, or die! I want to marry 

you!", professes Hermia.

"What if we both ran away, outside of Athens? We could 

then marry and spend our lives together."

"We could run to the reef..."

"So that's it, we run to the reef." 

As Lysander and Hermia develop a plan to marry Hermia's 

friend, Helena enters.

"Hermia! Demetrius does not love me anymore! But I love 

him, he is the one I want to marry!"

"Oh Helena, I am sorry to hear this. Lysander and I are 

going to run away so that we may marry. We wish you the 

best of luck with Demetrius."

"Hermia, we must go prepare for our journey. We will leave 

tomorrow night."

"Titania, I want the Indian Boy. He has been 

with you for far too long and now I am going 

to take him.", expresses Oberon.

"Oberon, I was the one who found him when 

his mother was dying. I have raised him from 

birth! He is like my child. I will not let you take 

him."

Oberon and Titania, the king and queen of 

fairies, continued to fight over the Indian boy. 

Having no reason for wanting the boy Oberon 

became determined to get the boy. 

"Puck, Titania is still insisting that she will not give me 

the Indian boy. Therefore I have a quest for you. You 

must swim to the coral reef and gather the magic potion 

in on the blue and purple sea flower. After doing so 

place the potion on Titania's eyes as she sleeps. When 

she awakens she will fall in love with the first thing she 

sees. Being that this thing will be a beast from the reef 

she will be captivated by love, I will be able to sneak 

upon her and capture the boy. But, my friend Puck, I 

see two Athenians wandering these waters. The woman 

seems to be love with the man who does not love her 

back. After you give the love potion to Titania I instruct 

you to do the same for the Athenian boy so that he will 

fall in love with the very woman who loves him."

"My master, Oberon, I will do as you say and not let you 

down", exclaims Puck. 

Hermia and Lysander continue their journey to 

the reef. By the end of the first day of 

traveling they decide to lay down and sleep. 

Puck does as instructed by Oberon and places 

the magic potion on Titania's eyes. However as 

Puck seeks to do so on the Athenian boy that 

Oberon has said Puck makes a great mistake. 

Puck puts the potion on Lysander, not 

Demetrius. 

Puck feeling great about completing his quest 

reports back to Oberon to tell him he was 

successful. 

As Hermia and Lysander sleep, Hermia 

remains in pursuit of Demetrius. During her 

pursuit of Demetrius, Helena swims over 

Lysander awakening him. Lysander is now in 

love with Helena. 

"Oh Helena, it surprises me that I am in love 

with you! But I do love you and I will do 

everything I can to protect you, sweet 

Helena!"

"Are you being serious. These jokes are not 

funny. It makes me mad that you and Hermia 

would mock like this. You two are in love. 

Don't flaunt it for a good laugh!"

Lysander and Demetrius continue to fight over 

Helena and Hermia watches in disbelief. 

"Lysander, I will get Helena. Your are not 

worthy of her heart!", exclaims Demetrius. 

"Why don't we just fight to decide who will win 

her?!", questions Lysander.
