The Dream:
A Midsummer Night’s Dream is a comedy written by William Shakespeare in 1595/96. It portrays the events surrounding the marriage of Theseus, the Duke of Athens, to Hippolyta, the former queen of the Amazons. These include the adventures of four young Athenian lovers and a group of six amateur actors (the mechanicals) who are controlled and manipulated by the fairies who inhabit the forest in which most of the play is set. The play is one of Shakespeare’s most popular works for the stage and is widely performed across the world.

The Nightmare:
Hippolyta finds another man, the lovers exile Theseus and the amateurs allow the fairies to turn them against him.

The Awakening:
I have lost more than I gained. I have hurt more than I have been allowed to heal. I have been betrayed more than I have sinned against. Since, I have stolen. Wounded. Committed treason.

The Reality:
I died, shortly after recording this album. To the concern of no one and the encouragement of all. There is no comedy in this musical. Only the thespianic torment of a pure soul.

The Consequence:
With my departure comes Ogilvie. He is safe with me.

Enjoy Shadowboxing. Speak with a Silver tongue. Take it from tippity. Continue the bravery of ignorance. Don’t give a fuck. Step down. Watch the clock. Be no one. Walk your dogs.
