Trivia

Which play did the characters of the Shakespearean play Midsummer Night's Dream perform? 

The characters Quince and his six "labourers" decided to perform a play called "Pyramus and Thisbe". However, due to the lack of rehearsals and preparation, they messed up BIG-TIME and failed horribly. The audience- Puck, Lysander,  Hermia, and the other characters- think that the actors were just fooling around and embarrassing themselves. They thought that the play was a comedy. After the improptu performance, they all went home. Puck manages to convince them that all of it was just a dream. (HEY! HUGE HINT HERE!) Hence the play name- Midsummer Night's Dream.
