in act 1 scene 2
The craftsmen meet in the wood to discuss and rehearse the play they have written to perform at the Royal Wedding of Theseus and Hippolyta. Their play is based on the tragic tale of Pyramus and Thisbe, but due to the craftsmen's unique interpretations of the dramatic form, it proves to be more comic in performance than tragic.
