In Mr Gallo's class were reading A Midsummer Nights Dream by William Shakespeare. This is how the first act went.
The duke of Athens, Theseus, is engaged to Hippolyta, the leader of the Amazons. While Wedding preparations are being made Egeus, one of the noblemen, has a daughter Hermia who is supposed to marry a man named Demetrius. Yet Hermia want to marry someone called Lysander. They Loved each other deeply but, Hermia is supposed to marry Demetrius. Hermia Must make her decision whether she want do it or not by the time Theseus' wedding start four days later. If she chooses no, she will have to either die, or never see a man ever again. Meanwhile Hermia's best friend, Helena, loves Demetrius despite him dumping her. Lysander suggests to Hermia that they run away and meet in the forest. Yet Helena plans to tell Demetrius so he can screw things and maybe he'll like her for telling him.
In scene 2 a group of actors are basically preparing for a play that they will perform at the wedding. They plan to rehearse in the forest.
