Molly Franklin Professor Camargo English 2100 25 April 2013 Recreate a Scene As an up and coming director, I would like

to recreate A Midsummer Nights Dream in a camp setting, at Camp Carolina. The story would be told in by the council file and take the shape of a Native American legend. The setting of the legend would be the great outdoors as well as the villages of each tribe. The actual movie will be filmed in the Blue Ridge Mountains of North Carolina. The cast should be as follows: Story Teller: Bradley Cooper Campers/ Audience: Campers from an actual camp in the area Titania: Eva Longoria Oberon: William Levy Little Indian Boy: any tan dark haired toddler Puck: Justin Bieber Pyramus: George Clooney Hermia: Kate Hudson Lysander: Tom Cruise Demetrius: Josh Duhamel Helena: Reese Witherspoon The first lines of the story read by the story-teller/ narrator should read as follows. They should be read in an enthusiastic voice.

Franklin 1 STORY TELLER: Welcome to the mountains of the Carolinas young men. This is a land with a history younger than the mountains but older than the trees. After the first trees here started to grow, two tribes of Native Americans settled their villages in this fertile land. These two tribes were the Navajo people and the Comanche people. Through an unfortunate misunderstanding, these tribes became enemies and this is the story of what brought about the tension between the two tribes and how they moved past their differences and learned to complete in a friendly way, much like you all do her at Camp Carolina. Titania and Oberon would be a part of the legend that the kids hear every session about a battle started between the two different Native American tribes that once inhibited the land. Titania and Oberon are two lovers in the story from the two opposing tribes that now watch over the land. They have a child, a beautiful blue indian child, in secret. The two parents eventually have a big fight because Oberons tribe kills Titanias father. This leads to a war between the two over the sweet child. The child is currently in Titanias tribes possession. Oberon is willing to do anything to get his sweet child back, including calling on the Gods as well as using any and all of the traditional potions. Oberon, now the chief of his tribe, decides to call on his most trusted friend, Puck. He gives Puck

instructions to go find one of the most ancient of flowers that has an oil that causes one to fall in love instantly with the very next thing he sees. Once Puck has gathered these flowers and concocted this magical love potion, Oberon takes the potion and places some on Titanias eyelids whilst she is asleep in her teepee. Oberon instructs Puck to now fi nd another flower that has the power to change the appearance of some random creature negatively and to ensure that the ugly creature is the first thing Titania sees upon her

creature, Pyramus. She is distracted long enough for Oberon to take the child, put some other potion to inactivate the first potion on her eyes and woke her up again. When Titania wakes up, she realizes that she has mistakenly loved Pyramus, the ugly creature, and then realizes her love and appreciation for Oberon and the two decide that love is stronger than war all is forgiven. The two then go back to their tribes and declare peace. In addition to this chaos, Oberon, sitting on top of the mountain, sees some young European settlers walking through the valley in distress. He first sees two arguing. He can clearly see through the wood that the woman, Helena, is clearly madly in love with the man, Demetrius. Oberon decides with his good instincts that the love is truly meant to be and that he will have Puck find the young man on the way back from his task find an ugly creature for Titania to fall in love with. Puck attempts to do this but unknowingly mistakes another couple, Lysander and Hermia, and accidently casts the love potion upon then as they rest across the field from each other. After Puck is finished with his second task, he returns up the beautiful dark mountain landscape to report to Oberon. When he arrives and discusses his doings with Oberon and realizes what has happened by looking on to the field and noting the chaos, Puck and Oberon return to the field and cast a sleeping potion among the settlers as well as the love potion and lay them in a way that they will wake and fall in love with the person that they are truly meant to love: Demetrius to Helena and Lysander to Hermia. The film would end with the storyteller at the camp speaking these few words to the campers. STORY TELLER: And they all lived happily ever after.
