School Auditorium: MSND rehearsal (4-7 PM FHT)

[auroryborealis.livejournal.com]

There are snacks and assorted beverages on a table to the side, and the house lights are up.

The stage lighting is still a little beyond Rory, so the simple overhead fluorescents will have to do for the day.

And by the door, there's a sign-in sheet.

Actors? Your stage awaits.

Lee grins at her before getting back into character. "Thou rememberest since once I sat upon a promontory, and heard a mermaid on a dolphin's back uttering such dulcet and harmonious breath that the rude sea grew civil at her song and certain stars shot madly from their spheres, to hear the sea-maid's music," he says dreamily.

Zero petted his arm. "I remember."

Lee continues the dreamy monologue on the flower, a bit irritated that Shakespeare is giving some propaganda to his number one patroness in this bit, but he finally gets to the crux of the speech and puts one arm around Zero as he points out into the distance where the flower must be-- "Fetch me that flower; the herb I shew'd thee once: the juice of it on sleeping eye-lids laid will make or man or woman madly dote upon the next live creature that it sees."

He lets her go. "Fetch me this herb; and be thou here again ere the leviathan can swim a league," he commands.

Zero bounced. "I'll put a girdle round about the earth in forty minutes," she promised him, and ran offstage.

A moment later she dashed back across the stage going the other way.

Lee snickered a little before continuing his speech - "Having once this juice, I'll watch Titania when she is asleep, and drop the liquor of it in her eyes. The next thing then she waking looks upon, be it on lion, bear, or wolf, or bull, on meddling monkey, or on busy ape, she shall pursue it with the soul of love: And ere I take this charm from off her sight, as I can take it with another herb, I'll make her render up her page to me."

He shivered slightly at the cruel power in those words.

He then looked for a Demetrius and hair Helen to approach to continue his lines.
