Midsummer Nightmare, Stage Script summary

Opening, Tour Guide Speech

Good evening, dear visitors. Welcome to our beautiful countryside. Fresh air. Rolling hills. A place where nothing unusual ever happens. Almost never. Tonight, we invite you to follow us through a story. A hunter, a forest, and a white stag. The problem is: everyone remembers it differently.
Please stay together. This is both a performance and an investigation.

Song: Welcome to Our Beautiful Countryside
Welcome to our countryside! Mountains tall and rivers wide! Everything is calm and bright, except that the hunter died that night. If something strange appears in view, we simply choose a true version. And if the truth is hard to find, we leave it gently far behind.

Generated A.I. Images

• Stop 1, The Poacher
  Gather close. This tree is very important. I was standing here. Calm. Legal. Peaceful. The hunter? Somewhere else. Then I heard something. A slip. A fall. Nature. You understand, accidents happen. And if they don’t… we call them accidents.Stop 2, The Widow
  My husband was a good man. He walked proudly. He feared nothing. He stood here, looking into the forest as if he already knew. Then suddenly, violence. A shadow. A figure. Not someone
  from here. We would never do such things to our own.Stop 3, The Bystander 
  I saw everything. The movement. The moment. Unfortunately, there was fog. And I had just removed my glasses. But I am certain of one thing: Something happened. Very convincing, no?Stop 3, The Medium
  The forest speaks. The hunter speaks through me. He says… he walked… he turned…he hesitated…and then he forgot. The dead are not always helpful witnesses.Stop 4, The Woodcutter 
  I did not see anything. But I heard everything. A shot! A cry! A legend! And let me tell you: Every time I repeat it, it becomes better. Truth is good. But a good story is better.

  Song: It Must Be the Foreigner
  It must be the foreigner! Who else could it be? We are peaceful villagers. As peaceful as can be! We did not see, we did not hear, but still the answer’s very clear! When facts are missing from the scene, we fill the gaps with what we mean!

  Stop 5, The Foreigner
  Excuse me. I believe you are talking about me. I arrived five minutes ago. I was told there is a beautiful stag here. Instead, I find: A missing hunter, five stories, and one conclusion, me. In my country, we start with evidence. Here, you start with a story.

Final Gathering, The Festival Announcement
We have decided that this event is too important to remain unclear. Therefore, we celebrate it.

Welcome to the First Annual Midsummer Nightmre, the White Stag Festival.

Festival Song
Come to the Midsummer Nightmre Festival! Mystery in the air! Nobody knows what happened, but everyone will be there! Truth is optional, joy is real, Stories turn the village wheel!

Heritage Declaration
This story will be preserved. Documented. Certified.

FOREIGNER: But you still don’t know what happened.
VILLAGER: Exactly. That is why it must be protected.

Final Scene
You have heard every version. Now, the final witness. *(The stag appears)* The stag saw everything. But the stag refuses to comment.

Final Image
Performers slowly raise antlers. We are the stag. We are the witnesses. We are the story. And the story is never finished.

Final Line
Thank you for visiting our countryside. Please tell the story carefully.
