A Midsummer Night's Dream Act 5
In the beginning of Act 5, Hippolyta mentions to Theseus that the lovers are saying some strange things and everything they are saying all connect up with each other's words. Theseus just says they are lunatics. Philostrate comes up to Theseus and tells him the different plays that could perform. Theseus decides on a play with Pyramus and Thisbe, even though Philostrate says it is really bad and worthless to watch. Hippolyta is hesitant to watch the play, but Theseus insist on seeing the men's work. Quince says the prologue, but the grammar is all wrong and when all of the others speak, they mention what they are; whether it is lion or a wall. During the play, Theseus said that the wall should curse back at Pyramus, and then Bottom gets out of character and says to him why that doesn't happen. Once the play is over, the audience didn't think they did very well, but they were entertained and they applauded there effort. At the end, Robin comes out and tells the Midsummer Night's Dream audience that this wall all a dream and we were part of the whole thing.
