I was looking forward to working on scenes from a number of plays, even it meant two scenes each from, say, ten plays (however, the time works out), i.e. Gail's idea of the storm and the reconciliation, and I, and I thought others, going back to the beginning of the discussion, were hoping to study a wide range of plays, juxtaposing Shakespeare's different approaches to two or three themes. And making each scene as rich as possible; the iceberg where 7/8's of the mass is below. That's a lot of work!! But it's a lot of putting word to the action, action to the word, and much good thinking about both.
On the other hand, doing two full plays in a week will mean we spend all our time running lines! Is this Winedale? Or an anxiety dream of regional theater? Perhaps I'm too blunt, and possibly need to take a nap. I'm terrible at this email conference. And keep swearing to keep my mouth shut. I'll say no more. And be a hermit. Mum.

Actually, i AM serious about the two play suggestion - massive undertaking, so just the kind of impossible task that we are best suited for....

Dear All,
A grinning and excited second for Bruce's suggestion that we consider longer chunks of fewer plays so that we can get some of the playlong arcs into our storytelling. And two full plays is a great idea, I think, if you're serious.
