fandomhigh | 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."

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.
