After the background, he had everyone split up into groups: the tech crew, the Athenians (Theseus, Hippolyta, Egeus, Lysander, Demetrus, Hermia, Helena and Philostrate), the Fae (Oberon, Titania, Puck, Peaseblossom, Cobweb, Moth, and Mustardseed) and the Mechanicals (Peter Quince, Nick Bottom, Francis Flute, Robin Starveling, Tom Snout and Snug the Joiner). He had the tech crew begin brainstorming the things they would need to develop for the show. He had each of the groups of actors go through their lines and rewrite them in modern English, to help reading comprehension. They were encouraged to help each other with their translations. When everyone had finished their interpretations, he organized everyone into a large circle, and they did a read through of the original text, hopefully using the understanding they had gained from their translations. |
