Tragedy in Comedy

This is a scene performed by 'Beings' which is a English drama club in my home university, Ewha. The title of this play is 'mong which means a dream. But this is originally 'a midsummer night's dream' written by William Shakespeare. (I hope I could upload as a video but because of the big size I couldn't.)
This scene here is a small performance by Quince's company(crafts men) for the duke's wedding. It is a tragedy of Pyramus and Thisbe almost like Romeo and Juliet. But because the players are not professional and dumb, this tragedy becomes very funny. So, in other words, it is a comic tragedy.
