Where's the Taming Induction scene with Sly?
I had suggested that and don't see it listed now that I'm doing my 11th hour
re-reading of the list.
YIkes.
I had thought to suggest beginning in a barn tavern with the lords and ladies setting
drunken old Sly up to be fooled and to watch with his lovely lad an entertainment. The
rest would be our chosen scenes.
And at the end the character of Sly, passed out and then waking up to become Bottom and
ending with Bottom's dream.
So yikes! If it isn't too 11th hour, keep the Induction scene in mind.
Love, Terry
