Drama! Thursday, Period Four

Today class was meeting not in the usual drama room, but outside, in the park, as they'd been handwavily informed earlier.

Why were they meeting in the park?

"Greetings, class!" Thor bellowed. "Today we are going to look at the works of a certain notable Midgardian playwright, and I have been informed that he is best studied in the out-of-doors." Or he'd taken a witty quip delivered by one Tony Stark as fact. One of those.

"To that end I have supplied several speeches this man has written for the various fictional characters in his works. Please choose one! After some time, I would like for you to present to your classmates. Don't worry, I would not ask you to memorize your piece- you may keep the script with you as you perform!"

"Next week is the break, so we shall have no class, as you will be off adventuring in the far-off land of Africa. However! When we return we shall begin looking at our final presentation in earnest."

Pick from the wide selection (http://www.shakespeare-monologues.org/) available.

Was it really any surprise which heroine (http://www.opensourceshakespeare.org/views/plays/play_view.php?WorkID=romeojuliet&Act=4&Scene=3&Scope=scene&LineHighlight=2565#2555) Juliet chose? She figured she had her name for a reason, and she intended to use it.

"Farewell!" she began, dramatic wrist upon her forehead. "God knows when we shall meet again.
I have a faint cold fear thrills through my veins,
That almost freezes up the heat of life:
I'll call them back again to comfort me."

And so on, through to "Romeo, I come! this do I drink to thee," and a horrible collapse into feigned death.

Billy ended up picking something from Julius Caesar, since he was at least vaguely familiar with it. It was a little weird to wrap his brain around the language, but he tried to sound right for the scene.
