the plan is to have it written by this thursday so that we can compile it all together!
(don't forget to make each scene aprox. 2-3 minutes long, and we'll cut it down from there)
| | Scene 1 | Scene 2 | Scene 3 | Scene 4 |
| Romeo & Juliet | Look. Love. Hands touch. (I think a giggle would be appropriate) | Balcony, forswear parents, and wedding | Outside influences | Deaths |
| | | | | |
| Hamlet & Ophelia | He’s reading her a love letter | He talks to his dad; she talks to hers | “get thee to a nunnery” backstage: “splash” | |
| | | | | |
| King & Princess | He swearing off love for oath, she’s rowing in from a boat. Witty banter | He’s talking to friends; she’s reading letter with friends | In love, but must prove himself/must let go | |
Thanks for putting up a post for this; I really like the contrast in the couples we have chosen. I think that as people write their scripts, they need to REALLY emphasize the unique "flavor" of love they have in their relationship; the influences, the strengths, the depths/shallowness/shortcomings. Since we are tracing the theme of love, we need to somehow capture the the uniqueness in each play and the connections between each play.
ReplyDeleteSoooooo this is me just being picky, but can we keep the names for LLL as Biron and Rosalind? I know we don't expect people to be super familiar with the play, but for the sake of being somewhat of a purist, can we stick with their names since we're pulling from those two's dialogue? Pretty please?
ReplyDeleteBy doing that, we'll help viewers gain Shakespeare literacy. See what I did there?
ReplyDeleteBrilliant Gabe :) way to incorporate a learning outcome!
ReplyDeleteI think yes.
I agree with Gabe. Coming along!
ReplyDeleteAgreed. Names are better than "The King and Princess." Way to go Gabe!
ReplyDeleteAnd the scene three for Hamlet and Ophelia... Brilliant, If I may say so:)But let's not give away the punch line just yet.
