SCENE 1
Narrator 1: 07A301 presents their adaptation of Shakespeare's A Midsummer's Night Dream'.
[Star Wars theme song]
Narrator 2: A long, long time ago in a galaxy far, far away-
Narrator 1: Wrong story!
[Music stops]
Narrator 2: Oops.
Narrator 1: A wedding drew near, in the palace of Theseus,
Four days to go, before Hippolyta was his missus.
Narrator 2: Philostrate was sent, to arrange for entertainment,
When Egeus entered with a serious complaint.
Narrator 1: His daughter refused to wed her father's choice,

Narrator 2: Demetrius was a worthy gentleman, yes she concurred,
But her heart was with Lysander, should it not be heard?
Narrator 1: Theseus declared she had till his wedding night,
To choose between death, Demetrius and a virgin life.

Lysander: Hermia, I have a very important question to ask you.

Lysander: There is no one else in the universe I'd like to jump out of a plane, without a parachute, with. [Kneels down] So, would you like to be my co-pilot and spend the rest of your days with me?
[Person with placard "Awww!"]
Hermia: This is the happiest day of my life! Even more so than the time I performed my first open-heart surgery!
Lysander: Is that a yes?
Hermia: Stethoscopes! What about my father? He disapproves of our relationship!
Lysander: So what are we going to do?
Hermia: I don't know. What do you want to do?
Lysander: I don't know. What do you want to do?
Narrator: Ahem!
