A Midsummer Night's Dream: Act V

When Act V starts, Theseus is asking Philostrate, the director of the entertainment for his wedding, what different acts there are to watch. The only one he seems interested in is the play about Pyramus and Thisbe, performed by the craftsmen. Philostrate is trying to discourage him from seeing it, saying it's a waste of time and all the actors are talentless, but Theseus wants to watch it anyway. 

Through the show, Theseus and everyone else watching are commenting on the poor grammar and bad acting. Everyone feels the need to announce what character they play and what they are going to do as soon as they come on stage. Though the play is bad, they seem to find it amusing anyway, while they're pointing out all of its stupid mistakes. After the play is over, Robin, Oberon, Titania, and their servants come to the palace to bless it and make it peaceful.

They leave, and Robin is the last one on stage. He tells the audience that if they did not like the play, they should pretend that they saw it all when they were asleep, it was just a dream.
