Welcome, welcome, one and all,
In the Harrison Theatre at Mowden Hall!
Today, we bring you love and delight,
With fairies and mishaps and magic in sight!

It’s Valentine’s Day—how fitting, how sweet,
For a tale where love trips over its feet!
With spells and potions and lovers who fight,
(But don’t worry—they’ll all be all right!)

Four young Athenians, lost in the trees,
Are tangled in magic, confusion, and pleas.
Hermia loves Lysander—that much is true,
But Demetrius loves her, and Helena too!

Then Oberon’s fairy, a mischievous sprite,
Decides to enchant them and worsen their plight.
With one drop of magic, their hearts go astray,
And suddenly love is in total dismay!

Meanwhile, the fairies are causing more trouble,
Titania and Oberon fight on the double!
A donkey-headed Bottom is caught in their game,
And his fairy queen love is really a shame!

The bumbling tradesmen, so eager to please,
Perform a great play—well… almost, at least!
Thisbe dies, and then Pyramus too,
A tragedy, yes, but you’ll laugh till you’re blue!

Our pupils have worked both day and night,
To bring Shakespeare’s world to life just right.
They’ve practiced their rhymes, their bows, their screams,
And even saying script lines in their dreams!

So sit back, relax, let the chaos begin,
With Puck, Oberon, and Bottom’s grin!
A show full of laughter, of love and of cheer,
Thank you for coming—we’re thrilled that you’re here!
