Alice,
Alas! Never was one so slow of study, I trow..... this a.m. I was going to get up and
finish this and to my everlasting shame, I could even find it....
All day long I kept thinking....thinking....I do not have a blueberry (thank God) and
finally it dawned on me to look in this spot and of course, the damned thing was here all
the time....
So, for what it's worth and hopefully there will be something that strikes a spark
somewhere, I submit what I have and will go to bed at noon.......

Okay, first I'll be as silent as possible per Clayton and I agree with the use of
silence.
I still think the Bottom opening onto whatever scene would be a smash.... and I think
ending as well. In my mind, our experiences at Shakespeare at Winedale have always been
Bottom's Dream and the words match the action.
I love Hamlet's advice to the players 2.2 ... and that too could be a great segue
into another scene....as someone suggested.
I also, of course, love Hamlet's 3.2 ...you would play upon me... you would sound me
from my lowest note to the top of my compass .... again, I feel this has been my
experience as a student..... being sounded from my lowest note to my highest..... (this
could also perhaps segue)
The Players Speech 2.2 Hamlet.
There is also the grave diggers scene that is so funny,.... perhaps we could segue from
the Weird Sisters to the grave diggers?
I love the Weird Sisters (where did they go?). I too have a broomstick - I had wings but
hit a tree and broke them off and now I am forced to fly with just the stick.
I think the Comedy of Errors gate scene is about the funniest most audience-involved total
mayhem we have ever done and I don't think anyone ever tires of it.... and it should
make Terry very happy.
And Richard II's ....let us sit upon the ground and tell sad stories of the deaths of
kings...... (I well remember the nights at Winedale when we did sit upon the ground, our
dirt stage, and Terry would read RII to us.
And what happened to the Nurse's scene? I thought Jayne, Kathy and that bottle of
great wine they were drinking came up with some super ideas....
The As You Like It wrestling scene 1.2 in honor of so many valiant warriors who have
played that part.....as well as 2.5 Ducdame because it is so indigenous to us.
And of course, Much Ado with Dogberry's scene?
Yikes! 1:11 and still the only tragedy being my lack of inspirational thinking....
Thine By Yea or Nay!
