It's important to note that there's no way to guarantee a lack of a romantic subplot in this game, as a lot of it relies on blind luck, but if you're uncomfortable playing a romance plot, you are allowed to ham it up as much as you please. Characters with asterisks next to their names have canon romance plots.

Background
Mr. O'Strate's seventh form drama class is putting on A Midsummer Night's Dream, and he's cast you all eerily well in your parts. Life is starting to imitate art... or is it the other way round?
By the end of this afternoon's rehearsal, the lovers might be reunited, the rude mechanicals might have their lines down pat, and Oberon and Titania might have stopped fighting... but as some famous dead guy once wrote, the course of true love never did run smooth.
A light, fluffy and overly melodramatic game from the authors of Wreck of the Philemon and Twelfth Night.
