No Fear Shakespeare: A Midsummer Night's Dream - Puck, Oberon, Lysander and More
JasonDeanVA for Lysander
A handsome young man of Athens, Lysander is the main love interest of Hermia. He is generally a pretty nice guy, until he is hit by a love potion, which makes him quite hateful and mean.
He should have a mid to low range voice, but really, any voice will do.
My lord, I’m just as noble and rich as he is. I love Hermia more than he does. My prospects are as good as his, if not better. And beautiful Hermia loves me—which is more important than all those other things I’m bragging about. Why shouldn’t I be able to marry her?
I’d even run through fire if you told me to. Radiant, beautiful Helena! I feel like Mother Nature has allowed me to see into your heart, as if by magic.
Stop hanging on me, you cat, you thorn. Let go of me, or I’ll shake you off like a snake.
