CHALLENGE 1: Bottoms speech!

We are going to start posting challenges for the young people eat Silhouette Youth Theatre. Anyone can join in!

Many of you know A Midsummer Nights Dream and the ‘death speech’ by Bottom at the end of Pyramus and Thisbe. Below is a copy of that speech.

Pyramus

O wherefore, Nature, didst thou lions frame?
Since lion vile hath here deflower’d my dear:
Which is–no, no–which was the fairest dame
That lived, that loved, that liked, that look’d
with cheer.
Come, tears, confound;
Out, sword, and wound
The pap of Pyramus;
Ay, that left pap,
Where heart doth hop:

Stabs himself

Thus die I, thus, thus, thus.
Now am I dead,
Now am I fled;
My soul is in the sky:
Tongue, lose thy light;
Moon take thy flight:

Exit Moonshine

Now die, die, die, die, die.

Dies
