Reviewofpyramus Andthisbe

Yesterday a small group of young actors performed the tragic tale of two young lovers called Pyramus and Thisbe who kill themselves for love This performance was in honour of our Duke and Duchesses wedding day The play was incredibly funny, The thing is, no one seemed to know how to act There was one young man playing a woman who didn’t seem very enthusiastic: his fake voice was too deep to be a woman ’ s Another actor named Bottom (the weaver), seemed to think that he was the best and no one else mattered When the man playing the lion roared, I could barely hear it It was as frail as an old man

The story of Pyramus and Thisbe is supposed to be a tragedy, not utterly tragic!

THEDUKE'SREVIEW

Personally, I think the play was dreadful I don’t know what everyone else thinks but this is my opinion Not one of the actors knew what they were doing They even used a lamp for the moon and person for the wall I mean you could have performed the play when the moon was shining One other thing as well, not one of the actors knew half of their lines ”

The group who performed the play are known as the Mechanicals This group consists of, Bottom (the weaver), Peter Quince, Flute, Snout, Snug and Starveling. Here we have a little snippet of the mechanicals opinion of their performance

Bottom: "Firstly, I would like to say how proud I am of my performance Don’t you guys think that I did well?"

Quince: "We all did!"

Snug: "It was brilliant!"

Starveling and Snout: "We are just so good!"

There you have it, all smug and proud Honestly, I don’t know how many times I will have to tell you, but I tell you with all my heart - don’t waste you precious money!
