Here's a suggestion: what about the scene in IV Henry I in which Hal and
Falstaff play that "scene" in which they alternate playing the
"characters" of Hal and his father? That seems quite "liftable," with a
nicely satisfying final line. I think it's in 2.5.

Comment: RE: SHK 19.0088 Standalone Pieces
For some reason (maybe poised to teach The Tempest for the next four
weeks), the late plays some to mind. Pericles is so episodic you could
take your pick: incestuous daughter episode perhaps? I once workshopped
the 2 Shepherds + Autolycus scenes from TWT successfully at about that
length. There's the Induction to Shrew, the pageant at the end of Love's
Labours too.
Would it be a possibility to work on characterised stagings of sequences
of sonnets as a lateral thinking approach or do you have to have named
characters?
