Excerpt from Pyramus and Thisbe
In separating the burlesque scenes from the fairy scenes, an effort has been made to do as little violence to the text of Shakespeare as possible. The first act, The Rehearsal, is made up of several short scenes. The connective passages have necessarily been altered and a few passages added to preserve the sense of the original. With the exception of the transposition of two short speeches in the second act, no further changes have been made.
