Subject: Re: Favorite scenes from Shakespeare Author: Kiersten [ Next Thread | Previous Thread | Next Message | Previous Message ] Date Posted: 15:17:29 11/29/04 Mon In reply to: Jess 's message, "Favorite scenes from Shakespeare" on 14:36:23 11/29/04 Mon Well, this scene isn't funny, but it's really good---in Much Ado About Nothing, just after Hero is slandered by Claudio, and Beatrice goes off crying, and Benedick follows her. They declare their love for each other, and then Beatrice asks Benedick to kill Claudio. It's a really good scene. There's a classic from Taming of the Shrew, one that every member of every drama class ever has to do--when Petruchio and Kate first meet. The one that starts, "Good morrow, Kate, for that's your name, I hear." Another good one that always makes people laugh from that show is when Kate and Petruchio are coming back from his house and they meet a man on the road--Petruchio is proving how much Kate has bowed to his will, and even goes so far as to tell her that this man they are meeting is a woman, so she greets him as "Fair, budding virgin." Silly. Speaking of silly scenes, either one of the scenes from Much Ado where everyone is fooling Beatrice and Benedick into thinking the other loves them would be fun. Beatrice, Ursula, and Hero in one, Benedick, Claudio, Antonio, and the Prince in the other. More serious scenes would be like the one where Lady Macbeth convinces Macbeth to kill the king. Or anything with the witches, or the ghost of Banquo. There's also some very good, very serious scenes in Richard III between Richard and Anne, or Richard and the current queen (I forget her name), or the old queen and the other ladies. But they're pretty deep and could be confusing if you don't know the play. A fun scene from Hamlet is where Polonius is giving all the advice to Laertes. You know, stuff like "Neither a borrower nor a lender be." Okay, well, I'll stop talking about Shakespeare now. Good luck! Sounds like fun.
