Please, everyone, read the whole play a couple of times and go over the marked text several times so that you can read fluently. I want you to be thinking about story, dynamic, character/role (read: Styans Changeable Taffeta), poetry and Big Ideas (not least among them: sleeping and waking; dreaming and reasoning). Simple questions: whats going on here? How do we put the scene on its feet? All of you, too, will have particular information (from your knowledges) to bring to the seminar. Make sure you ALL have read through the material I gave you in week 1 and use it to inform yourself so that you can offer expert witness for your colleagues. Courtiers: Look at the first 127 lines of the play (to Exeunt all by Lysander and Hermia) Lovers: Look at 3.2.191 (Hermia: You speak not as you think; it cannot be) to line 345 (Oberon: This is your negligence). Mechanicals: Look at 3.1.1 (Bottom: Are we all met?) to line 114 (Quince: Bless thee, Bottom! Bless thee! Thou art translated). Fairies: Look at 2.1.60 (Oberson: Ill met by moonlight, proud Titania) to 189 (Demetrius: I love thee not, therefore pursue me not). Music (Knight/Wanless): what sound does this play make?

The classical/folklore aspects of the emblem (i.e., Triple Hecate, Lucina, Cynthia/Diana; Virgin Queen)? Whats her influence? Where is there moonlight in this play? How does the Moon operate as an organising image? Religion (Dean/Truslow): What does faith mean in this play? Faithlessness? Heresy? The vow? Poetry (Bogdanova/Abderabbini): how does Shakespeare score this play for poetic voices? Give examples of the poetic sounds the play makes. Maps/worlds (Burke/Woods): two settings in this play. What do they signify? How to they operate as locations, as systems of ideas? What does Athens mean to Shakespeare and his contemporaries? Books/Printing (Hodgson/Turney): where do we see writing in the play? The book? what do people make of writing? Government/authority/monarchy ((Brown/xxxx): Whos in charge? What is the power of the Prince here? Of the father? Of the subject? Of the director? What strategies of subversion operate? Plays and Players (Reid/King): what is the purpose of playing? What do we learn about the material practices of the Elizabethan theatre from this play? How does a play change from casting to rehearsing to performing?
