Subject: 14.1806 Trials in Shakespeare / Seven Ages
Comment: Re: SHK 14.1806 Trials in Shakespeare / Seven Ages
While we're on the subject of trials / performing scenes, I have a
similar query:
I'm directing the school play this year. I teach at a high school for
gifted students. I'm thinking of doing a medley of Shakespeare scenes
with Jaques' seven ages speech as the through line. While I am not
having any difficulties with lover / soldier scenes, I am at a bit of a
loss for the school boy (MWW 4.1 and LLL 1.1), justice (Merchant, though
I know I'm fudging it) and pantaloon / old age scenes. I'd welcome any
suggestions...
Thanks!
