Were The World Mine Page #5

Synopsis: If you had a love-potion, who would you make fall madly in love with you? Timothy, prone to escaping his dismal high school reality through dazzling musical daydreams, gets to answer that question in a very real way. After his eccentric teacher casts him as Puck in A Midsummer Night's Dream, he stumbles upon a recipe hidden within the script to create the play's magical, purple love-pansy. Armed with the pansy, Timothy's fading spirit soars as he puckishly imposes a new reality by turning much of his narrow-minded town gay, beginning with the rugby-jock of his dreams. Ensnaring family, friends and enemies in this chaos, Timothy forces them to walk a mile in his musical shoes. The course of true love never did run smooth; it's a bumpy ride.

# HE NO MORE

SHALL SEE MY FACE; #

# WHOM I DO LOVE AND

WILL DO TILL MY DEATH #

# BE AS THOU

WAST WONT TO BE; #

# SEE AS THOU

WAST WONT TO SEE #

# BE AS THOU

WAST WONT TO BE; #

# SEE AS THOU

WAST WONT TO SEE... #

"I have a device

to make all well.

Crush this herb

into the lovers eyes

Whose liquor hath

this virtuous property,

To take from thence all

error with their might,

And make their eyeballs

roll with wonted sight.

When next they wake,

all this derision

Shall seem a dream

and fruitless vision."

Don't haste,

get to the play tonight,

And with some luck there,

all things shall be right!

"I swear to thee,

by Cupid's strongest bow,

By all the vows that

ever men have broke..."

I'll be there.

# ALL THINGS SHALL BE PEACE #

Hi, Sugar.

I've got to get you

to the school.

"Follow my voice:

we'll try no manhood here."

"The villain is much

lighter-heel'd than I:

I follow'd fast,

but faster he did fly;

Come, thou gentle day!

For if but once thou

show me thy grey light,

I'll find Demetrius

and revenge this spite."

"Ho, ho, ho!

Coward, why comest thou not?"

"Where art thou now?"

"Come hither:
I am here."

"Nay, then, thou mock'st me.

Thou shalt buy this dear,

If ever I thy face

by daylight see:

Now, go thy way.

Faintness constraineth me

To measure out my length

on this cold bed."

He's gathering all the mixed

up lovers so he can fix them.

"O weary night,

O long and tedious night,"

Free will must be restored.

"Abate thy hour!

And sleep, that sometimes

shuts up sorrow's eye,

Steal me awhile

from mine own company."

"Yet but three?

Come one more;

Two of both kinds

make up four.

Here she comes,

curst and sad:

Cupid is a knavish lad,

Thus to make poor females mad."

"Never so weary,

never so in woe,

Bedabbled with the dew

and torn with briers,

I can no further crawl,

no further go;

My legs can keep no

pace with my desires."

Sing!

# ON THE GROUND #

# SLEEP SOUND... #

# I'LL APPLY TO YOUR EYE, #

# GENTLE LOVER, REMEDY #

Go on.

# WHEN THOU WAKES THOU TAKEST #

# TRUE DELIGHT IN THE SIGHT #

# OF THY FORMER

LADY'S EYE:
#

# JACK SHALL HAVE JILL; #

# NOUGHT SHALL GO ILL; #

# THE MAN SHALL HAVE

HIS MARE AGAIN #

# AND ALL SHALL BE WELL #

Goodbye.

This part of the show?

Damn, this is cool.

- Get off me, dude.

- Sorry.

Come along, please.

The finale.

Frankie, you're on!

"I will hear that play;

For never anything

can be amiss,

When simpleness

and duty tender it."

Nora?

It's time to fly.

"If we shadows

have offended,

Think but this,

and all is mended,

That you have

but slumber'd here

While these visions

did appear

And this weak

and idle theme,

No more yielding

but a dream,

Gentles, do not reprehend:

If you pardon, we will mend:

And, as I am

an honest Puck,

If we have unearned luck

Now to 'scape

the serpent's tongue,

We will make

amends ere long;

Else the Puck a liar call;

So, good night unto you all.

Give me your hands,

if we be friends,

And Robin shall

restore amends."

Donna, darling...

will you join me

for next week's seminar?

OK.

Yes, of course.

You're very lucky to have

such a marvelously talented son.

Goodnight.

You know, when I was

in high-school,

I made quite

a dashing Oberon.

I bet you did.

Good evening, Coach.

What a talented bunch!

Indeed.

See you on Monday, Coach?

Evening, Nora.

Goodnight.

You were

unbelievable tonight.

Don't you feel...

I feel like myself.

"It's not enough to speak,

but to speak true."

Dude, awesome job!

You two love birds

better be at my party.

It's gonna be beyond!

Who's next?
