House play

Name of play:

Naledi:(ASSEMBLY)Monday: morning school so basically Lunga

and I are creating and directing the Friesian house play
2024(celebrate) the play we will be doing is called Midsummer’s
Night Dream but we’ve changed it up a bit and named it Mean
summer’s night dream,so basically
we have 8 main Characters, Sander,Theseus,
Tatiana,puck/narrator;lana;Demitri; Rima and the Dad

(ASSEMBLY, Naledi)Picture this, it's a fairytale meets mean girls.

There’s betrayal, true love, heartbreak, cheating, pixies, wanna
be Beyonce and special cookies. Our story starts in the city of
Sandton.

(Lunga) Sander and Rima are star crossed lovers who can’t be
together because Rima’s dad is an over controlling, money
grabbing control freak who wants her with the rich but egotistic
Demitrious. Cause he views his kid as a cash cow. But she’s in
love with Sander and Sander’s best friend Lana is in Love with
Demitrius, so Hermia runs away with him, will their love triangle,
quadrilateral, hexagon? Their love shape workout? Or will be a
bad dream, a mean summer night dream.

(NOT IN ASSEMBLY)On the way out they bump into a taxi filled
with la twizzies and the la twizzies Spookie is selling special
cookies with special ingredients. (Cough) herb (cough). And their
journey gets to new heights, literally they lit.
They see fairy’s and pixies and leave reality behind, honestly I
wish I had some of that. In this fairy realm they have their own
Beyoncé and Jay Z, the king and queen Tatiana and Theseaus,
and just like here, it appears like in every realm Jay Z can’t help
but cheat. Tatiana is a vivacious, immaculate, all powerful , slay
queen that radiates beauty, Grace and sass wherever she goes
and Theseaus is…there. Yuh she’s everything and he’s just Ken.
But despite being in the fantasy realm, when they fight it causes
mayhem in the real world like storms, tornadoes, Drama, I
actually think they might have caused the Drake leak too when
Tatiana found out Theseaus hit on her sister.

(NOT FOR ASSEMBLY)Anyway, Theseaus cheats and Tatiana is

not having it. So Theseus plots to get Tatiana back by getting her
flowers and promising to treat her with love and respect (laugh)
haha, did you really believe, taking responsibility, a man. If he
took accountability for what he did that would be the real fantasy.
No, instead he drugs her with special cookies to make her forget
she’s mad in the first place. And then our story

(Naledi)So if you’re in Friesian, and you can sing, dance or act,

Scene 1:

Narrator (puck): In a land far far away, Sandton city to be exact. There lived two sides. The
realm of reality (filled with school, homework and algebra) and the fairy realm (filled with magic,
chaos and shenanigans). The reality realm lived unaware of the fairy realm's existence and the
fairy realm treated those from reality like NPCs in their own drama. The only way that those
from the reality realm could pass through was if they found a way to abandon reality, let loose
and see the world in all its mystic glory. That state of mind was hard to achieve but could be
attained by meditation for 3 years in a cave, deep focus with books of philosophy by the likes of
Plato, Devinci and Archimedes or if you’re lazy, marajuana. In the fairy realm the king and
queen of the fairy court were in a blowout fight, a fight so strong it affected the mortals too. Let’s
watch.

(in the fairy court surrounded by courtiers smelling flowers and chating)
Tatiana: Theseus! (thunder)
Theseus: Yes my beautiful, darling wife.
Tatiana: Have you been with Becky.
Theseus: Becky who?
Tatiana: Becky with the good hair, that’s who.
Theseus : Of course not dear, why would you think that.
Tatiana: Then what’s this (holds wig at Theseus). I found it in the bed.
Theseus: It’s probably yours!
Tatiana: Mine, don’t even try to gaslight me. You think I'd rock up with synthetic hair, please. I
ain’t no fool Theseus! You think I wouldn’t recognize my own wig.
Theseus: You don’t think straight when you’re jealous , it’s just crazy coming out your mouth
and to my ears.
(Cooing) Baby all I want is you. Who cares if Becky and I got a little cozy, you’re my one true
love.
Tatiana: BS!!! (thunder)

(Sings Diva homecoming while throwing his clothes at him and a suitcase, she has a little
posie).

Tatiana: You and me are done!

Theseus: You don’t mean that!
Tatiana: Done!
Theseus: Why you gotta be so..
Tatiana: Done!

Theseus: She doesn’t understand, I try to be faithful but I’m just surrounded by too much
temptation.
(Sings all of these beautiful girls)

Scene 2:

Narrator: Whew that was intense. But back in the realm of reality before a party is to commence
two lovers' hearts take flight but alas due to her fathers disapproval their relationship is doomed.
Hermia: Who are you talking to?
Narrator: No one, the tale takes course. What will prevail, true love or her father’s scorn.
Hermia: Weirdo.

(in a room with her sisters)

Hermia: Anyway the new guy I’m talking to is fineeee. He’s like FINE, fine. Have you seen his
tinder profile? He is so cute. And sweet and..
Sister 1: Broke?
Hermia: Kind. Shut up, you’re just jealous your last relationship only lasted a week.
Sisters: (gasp)
Hermia: What me and lysander have is real love. Now get out before he gets here.
Sister: How do you know he’s coming to the party?
Hermia: I’m tracking him on Find My iPhone so I know if he’s talking to other girls.
Sister: Oh, so you’ve moved on to stalking him… how romantic.

(sits at her table, brushing her hair).

Lysander: Psst… psst. (From the window)
Hermia: Lysander!
Lysander: Keep it down, your parents are down stairs.
Hermia: Lysander, I had no idea you were coming (wink at audience), my dad will kill you if he
sees you.
Lysander: I know but I couldn’t wait.
Hermia: Wait for what?
Lysander: (gets down on one knee) I know we’re young but will you…
Hermia: Yes! Oh continue
Lysander: Will you make me the happiest man in the world and marry me?
Hermia: Yes, a hundred times yes. (Hug)

(Hermia sings love on top)

Hermia: Wait… what about my dad.

Lysander: I can deal with him.
Hermia: Careful, he has a gun.
Scene 3:

(in the party)

(Fairies come in and party, then dance act have convos)
Lysander: Hello sir.
Mom: Lysander, how did you get in here?
Lysander: I came through the windo… the door. I want to ask you a very important question.
Dad: Okay?
Lysander: I would like to marry your daughter Hermia.
Dad: Haha (dad and Lysander laughing) No (deadass).
Lysander: I know I don’t have a lot of money but I’d treat her like a queen.
Dad: I don’t care, Hermia will marry Demitri.
Demitri: Did someone say my name (flexing muscles)
Lysander: Demetri (seething)
Demitri: Just give up the girl and go back to that shack you call a home.
Lysander: I know he has old money and I work at Starbucks. And she deserves the moon but all
I can afford to give her is a pebble but I would make her happy everyday of her life: I’d be loyal
and true unlike Demitri. Isn’t that more important than money?
Mom: No, cause if I’m not letting her marry a poor person.
Lysander: I’m middle class.
Dad: Like she said, poor.
(Fancy Iggy Azalea with fairies)
Hermia: But daddy I love him!
Dad+mom: No
Hermia: But daddy I’ll die!
Dad+mom: No
Hermia: But daddy, I’m running out of ideas.
Lysander: Damn dude why you gotta be so.. So… so rude.

(Lysander sings why you gotta be so Rude!)

Hermia: Well that was awful.

Lysander: Yeah but we don’t need them, we have each other.
Hermia: Yes, let’s run away together while they’re at the party.
Lysander: yes! Helena can help cover our tracks.
Hermia:Are you sure Helena is a little…gossipy.
Lysander: I’m sure, I trust Helena with my life.

Scene 4:

(Fairies still in party)

Lysander: Helena, come here.
Helena: What’s up
Lysander: Ssh… I need your help but it’s top secret.
Helena: Of course, I’m great at keeping secrets. Speaking of secrets, did you know Carrie got
pregnant?
Lysander: Really… Nevermind. I’m running away with Hermia to get married and I need you to
tell her parents she’s at your house for a sleepover.
Helena: Of course.

(walks way, into the party)

Helena: HELENA AND LYSANDER ARE RUNNING AWAY TOGETHER!!!!
(music stops)
Demitri: WHAT!?!? That’s my wife.
Helena: I could be your wife. (Pulls out veil). I’m ready
Demitri: No thanks.
Mom: You must get her back. It's a dangerous world out there. Husband, fix this now! (Sob)
Dad: Be calm darling, seriously you’re ugly when you cry. Demitri if you find her and get rid of
that delinquent boy, she is promised to you and you alone.
Demitri: I must journey to find her. (fairies kneel and sing ahh like angels)
Helena: And maybe find a new love along the way.
Demitri: (looks her up and down) Nah.

Scene 4:
