Best Answer - Chosen by Asker:
when you say "What, removed!? Lysander, Lord!" you should be getting up with a concerned, questioning look on your face!. After each question (ex: Gone!?), turn your head to some other direction (you are looking for him, after all)!.!.!.!.and as you do so, you should make your way towards down center stage!.!.!.unless your director has some other idea in mind for your stage movements!.

You should lay on the ground and sometime after the line, "Ay me for pity what dream was here!?" you should sit up when you get to the "Lysander!?" line, you should stand up and act like you are looking for him!.Www@QuestionHome@Com
