Has anyone done A Midsummer's Night Dream before?

I'm doing one right now. I'm one of the faries. One of my freind's is the fairy queen and the other is Phillostrate. If you were in it who were you and what is your favorite scene out of the play?

I was Quince--as a woman. My favorite scene was the play at the very end. But my favorite that I wasn't in was the one where helena and hermia are at each other.
Reply:About a gazillion years ago, I had the pleasure of tackling a Rude Mechanical: Peter Quince.





To this day, I still think that the Rude Mechanicals are the best part of the play, and this is after I portrayed Demetrius, Oberon and Lysander in various productions.
Reply:I had the role of Bottom, the magicked enthusiastic amateur actor who was transformed into an *** and beloved of the fairy queen. It's an enchanted role, and the scenes with the fairy king and queen and Puck were great fun. I also enjoyed the play that the amateur theater troop puts on for Theseus and Hippolyta--lots of opportunities for slapstick and silliness!
