Enter THESEUS, HIPPOLYTA, PHILOSTRATE, and Attendants

Theseus


Now, fair Hippolyta, our nuptial hour
Draws on apace; four happy days bring in
Another moon: but, O, methinks, how slow
This old moon wanes! she lingers my desires,
Like to a step-dame or a dowager
Long withering out a young man revenue.


Hippolyta


Four days will quickly steep themselves in night;
Four nights will quickly dream away the time;
And then the moon, like to a silver bow
New-bent in heaven, shall behold the night
Of our solemnities.


Narrator


Cut, cut, cut! Hippolyta, what are you playing at! Where is the enthusiasm in that?!


Hippolyta


It died long ago...

Curtains!



The magical Théâtre Illuminata, the characters from every play ever written are eternally bound to this particular stage by “The Book,” which contains all the scripts. When it goes missing, everyone is to blame. All actors within the would rather roam free then be stuck within the Théâtre Illuminata. When a page is found by the orchestra stands, the entrance script of Hippolyta from Midsummer's Night Dream; Hippolyta disappears.

Though, this isn't the only problem. When the Théâtre Illuminata is threatened to be demolished because of its low viewers, the Théâtre Illuminata actors must work together too patchwork a play. A new play, which will dazzle the audience into letting the Théâtre Illuminata stay. With the book taken, characters which serve vital are dissapearing and the stage is beginning to crumble with its actors.

:arrow: The aim of this SB is to get on the side of theatrical side of all you lovely Story Bookers out there. If you so choose, you'll take a role from either one of the Shakespere's most famous play's and act as them. Though, they aren't exactly how they portray themselves on stage. Hamlet could be a soking drunk for the like of it. It's all up to you really. When writing, you can write normally though when rehearsing you have to format your work like exampled above.

:arrow: All rules are applied. You can also be from any play that you wish, you can be of any race also. If you want to be a fairy from Midsummers Night Dream, then be my guest. Though, you cannot make up one of your own characters. It has to relate towards a certain play.

PS. If you have any questions, just ask. Also, this is based off of the book; Eyes like Stars.

EDIT: Character Profile

Name: Miranda

Age: Just under fifteen years old

Gender: Female

Which play are you from: The Tempest

Personality:Miranda is a gentle and compassionate, but also relatively passive, heroine. But while Miranda is passive in many ways, she has at least two moments of surprising forthrightness and strength that complicate the reader’s impressions of her as a naïve young girl.

History: (At the theatre) Miranda likes to act like a pirate from one Shakespeare's pirate plays, acting, breathing and behaving just as them off of the set. She trains herself as a fighter, and is always finding something to do that might get her into a lot of trouble.

Up for love: Yes.

[Note: It's been a looooooooooong, loooong time since I've seen Romeo and Juliet, so this profile is simply from what I remember. If I get anything wrong, just send me a friendly reminder PM! It would be much appreciated]

Name:
Juliet Capulet
Age:
Thirteen
Gender:
Female
Play:
Romeo & Juliet
Personality:
Juliet is very quiet and reserved, yet at the same time very bright and bubbly with big dreams for the future. She often hums to herself and has an airy, excited feel about her. She loves all sorts of finery---from dresses to food to furniture---simply because she is used to the very best. Although, she is not happy being rich and seeks to free herself from the bonds that it places.
History: (At the theatre)
After the due course of her featured play went by, and she committed suicide at the end of it---she woke and found herself in the magical theater. She didn't know why Romeo wasn't there with her---as she thought she was in heaven. Soon it was explained to her, that all the people there shared a common bond (their author). When Romeo soon joined her--she was happier then ever.
Up for love:
No, definitely not. She has already found her heart's desire---Romeo.
Other:
She sometimes has suicidal tendencies if anything bad should happen to her.

All our dreams can come true — if we have the courage to pursue them.

Pause, people.

I'm reserving a spot. I wanna be the actor who plays Hamlet. :D

Can I join? :3

Name: Bottom
Age: 30
Gender: male
Which play are you from: A Midsummer Night's Dream
Personality: He's known for being half-donkey, but Bottom really is, well, an ass. He's pompous, silly, and unintelligent, but can be loveable if he really, really tries. He aspires to be a dapper gentleman, despite being poor, and certainly takes advantage of anything that comes his way. He believes in safety in numbers and (in MSND, at least) is close to his posse of fellow tradesmen.
History: (At the theatre) Bottom isn't sure how or why he's in the theatre, but he goes with the flow, socializing and striking up alliances for no real reason.
Up for love: Sure, if anyone can stand him. :P
Other: Bottom fancies himself an actor, but his lack of talent can be a problem - even if he is playing himself.

EDIT: Aww, I think I killed it. :(
