Having been defeated in battle by Theseus, she is now betrothed to him.

Lysander Male-identifying. A young man of Athens, of good family and
fortune.


Demetrius Male-identifying. Not the most admirable of young men. Having
wooed Helena and won her heart, he shifts his attentions to Hermia, who

Hermia Female Identifying. Egeus’s daughter. In love with Lysander, she
refuses to marry Demetrius despite the threat of death for her refusal.



Helena Female Identifying. A young lady of Athens. She was wooed and
rejected by Demetrius and remains in love with him.

Peter Quince All genders. A carpenter with literary pretensions who
organizes some fellow workers into preparing a play he has written to

the Prologue).


 Nick Bottom Male Identifying-The weaver, a take-charge sort of person, who

Francis Flute ( also plays Cobweb) All genders. A bellows-mender, a young
person whose facial hair is only just beginning to grow.


Tom Snout ( also plays Peaseblossom) All genders. A tinker cast as
Pyramus’s father and the Wall in Quince’s play.


Snug ( Also plays 2nd Fairy and Moth) All Genders. The joiner is not the
most quick-witted of fellows, and is therefore cast as the lion to avoid
his having to learn lines.


Robin Starveling  (Also plays Mustard Seed) All Genders- This tailor
portrays Moonshine in Quince’s play.


 Oberon King of Fairies. Male-Identifying- Proud, angry, and vengeful, he
quarrels with Titania for the sake of a changeling boy, and on being
refused decides to humiliate her into obedience.


Titania Queen of Fairies. Female- Identifying. Sensual, earthy and
powerful.

Her quarrel with Oberon disturbs nature, but she still refuses to give up
the boy who is at the quarrel’s root.
