3:15Now PlayingQuick overview of the Shakespeare classic using classic silhouettes by Paul Konewka (1841-1871).
LYRICS
Athenian royal wedding, four youths in the forest treading
Into the faerie world spring
Demetrius pledged to Hermia, but she loves Lysander better
Helena waits in the wings
The course of true love…never did run smooth”…
They say “what fools these mortals be”
“Love looks not with the eyes, but with the mind”
Cupid’s so “blind”, you see
Faerie king Oberon upset with his Titania
Orders a potion of love
With Puck the magic goes awry, both boys for Helena do sigh
She thinks they mock, she’s had enough!
The queen awakens, from “flowery bed”
Swoons for a man with an ass head
“Jack shall have Jill, nought shall go ill
The man shall have his mare again”
“If we shadows have offended, think but this, and all is mended
That you have but slumbered here”
Everything a dream, a vision, “fairy-time” an apparition
In this fair tale from Shakespeare
