MSND Summary: ACT ONE Scene 2

Preparing for the wedding of Theseus and Hippolyta, a group of men meet to practice a play for Theses and Hippolyta's special day. Quince tells them that the play they'll be performing is The Most Lamentable Comedy and Most Cruel Death of Pyramus and Thisbe. Quince then assigns the roles of the actors, leaving defenseless Flute to play a woman part. We are also introduced to Bottom, whose a loud and arrogant guy who thinks he can play every part. Bottom is quickly mad at Quince for not giving him the part he thinks he's supposed to play, but is then convinced that he should be playing the part of Pyramus. All of the actors then decide to meet later in the woods to practice the play.
