Wither wander you? and then fairy says her speech then i say the king doth keep his revels here tonight...take heed the queen come not within his sight.

Also, does anyone have any memorizing strategies for me?

Answer 1

Go to this website: www.gutenberg.org. Search for Shakespeare and look up A Midsummer Night's Dream. You'll find it there.

Answer 2

I would advise you to obtain another copy from it's original source. Whilst it is all shakespeare the wording can vary slightly from printing company to printing company.

As for memorising your lines - practice, practice, practice!Read and re-read, it will eventually become second nature to you. Start with a paragraph if you like, then once you have it memorised go on to the second and so on until you can say it aloud start to finish. Once you are confident that you know it, give your lines to a friend so she/he can follow on whilst you say your lines aloud. This way your friend can make notes and let you know if you are skipping over lines, words or saying things incorrectly.
