Gender


“I go frequent flyer just to relax,”
Says the woman Theseus, “with your tax.”
Says the manly Queen of the Amazons
“Now I’m with him. I hang with paragons.”
Swoons that actor the lady Demetrius
“That voice in the air is the sweetliest
That pertains to the man dressed Hermia,
Or maybe it’s Helena, as things transpire.”
Puck, the Indian Girl, quick and ageless,
Tricks the best, worst, and all into Dumpt Humph
Be he lion or ass, lioness or less, a fright!
Writes the critic Cobweb of the first night:
“Lines delivered with verve. Casting a triumph.
The playwright speaks for all. Music, gorgeous.”
