Description:The play presented before the court in Shakespeare's A Midsummer’ Night’s Dream. The play of ‘Pyramus and Thisbe’, like the other plays presented in Shakespeare’s Love’s Labour’s Lost and in Hamlet, earns the scorn and criticism of their court audiences, especially when the actors are amateurs such as Bottom, Flute and their companions. See: Love’s Labour’s Lost, 5,2, lines 529-657. Hamlet, 3,2, lines 129-252. A Midsummer Night’s Dream, 5,1, lines 126-355, and 301-345. Full title: William Shakespeare, A midsommer nights dreame. As it hath beene sundry times publikely acted, Written by William Shakespeare. [London], Printed by James Roberts, 1600. [i.e. William Jaggard for Thomas Pavier, 1619].
