Bottom's Time with the Fairies

A Midsummer Night's Dream

Perhaps in no other sequence than this can Puck's eternal prankishness be seen so clearly.

Our Puck pranced about, enjoying her handiwork perhaps a little too much. Prancing was a specialty of our Puck.

Our Titania, on the other hand, struggled a bit with keeping a straight face and being deeply in love with the donkey-headed boy. She performed magnificently. What else would one expect from a queen?

Our fairy chorus enjoyed this sequence tremendously, stealing Bottom's cane, taking turns wearing his hat, and blanching whenever Titania required them to meet any of Bottom's whims.

Once Puck had transformed Bottom back, she couldn't resist trying on the hat for size.
