Everyone post at least two pieces of music of any type from any era which would support a production of MND.
You should include the title, the artist, why you think it is suitable for this play, a moment when it could be used.
shaggy - mr.bombastic for an entrance of puck :) i chose this because its a funny and amusing song and can related to the character in the same way.
ReplyDeletelove in an elevator - aerosmith this would be appropriate when ever someone falls in love with some one after the potion on their eyes.
another song that could be used for the above ^^ is kickstarts - example because it have a good chorus relating to love.
micheal jackson smooth criminal when puck puts the love poition into Titania, Lysander, and Demetrius eyes
ReplyDeletei think this would reallly go in really well becuase hes so michevious which in my eyes makes him a smooth criminal
when puck drops the love potion into thier eyes it goes you've been it by *boom* *boom* a smooth criminal....
and after he has done that we could have bad by Micheal Jackson once again because puck is a such bad mama jama
grenade - Bruno Mars when Hermia and Lysander plan to meet each other in the woods to escape from the planned wedding. this is to show the love and commitement of Lysander to Hermia.
ReplyDeletechristophe beck - pink panther theme song.
when Quince and the other fairies enter to show the clumsiness and humour of the fairies.
love is in the air- john paul young
ReplyDeletethis would be quite amusing at the part were the potions have been mixed up and everyones in love with the wrong people
slaves or rome - jack smalley ( gladiator film)
ReplyDeletewhen people our going on journeys such as the journey to the forest and so on. it could also be used when royalty come on.
you love is my drug kiesha
ReplyDeletewhen bottom and hippolytia fall in love or hes in love with her
I put a spell on you - Nina Simone
ReplyDeleteFor whenever a character is put under the influence of the love potion
Run - Amy McDonald
For when Hermia and Lysander they run away
Maneater - Nelly Furtado or Hall & Oates
For Helena(at any point in the play you like)
Love Story-Taylor Swift lovely dovey stuff for when Lysander and Hermia run into the forests? "I sneak out to the garden to see you, we keep quite coz we're dead if they knew, so close your eyes..." ???
ReplyDeleteChristina Aguilera- Ain't no other man
ReplyDeleteMaybe for when the love potion takes effect?
Especially these lines:
Something bout you caught my eye
Something moved me deep inside
I don't know what you did boy but you had it
And I've been hooked ever since
lol or just the chorus :)
The monkees - i'm a believer
ReplyDeleteI thought this would be a good song when the potion has effect on the charaters because its sort of making out when they see the face they automaticaly fall in love.
james brown - this is a mans world
this could be used at the very start of the play when it is the fathers choice to choose to the woman marry.
nicole scherzinger- poison
ReplyDeleteWhen each of the characters has the potion to fall in love this could be played.
Eye if the tiger
While the fight is taking place this could be playing in the background! haha
MND could be set on an aeroplane with the different characters beind different people on the plane. The pilots could be King oberon and Queen Titania of the fairys. The other fairys could be the cabin crew such as the air hosts. there could also be first and second class to show the difference between the characters and their statuses. The rest of the characters would be the passengers on the plane seated throughout the journey. There could be a secret passage where all the luggage is kept to symbolise the woods where the characters can run away into 'the woods'.
