Dear FWW’s,
Here are my 12 picks (sorry Alice!) (My excuse: “O for a Muse of Fire” and Bottom’s Dream are short and would make a great frame…):
· Taming Induction · Henry V, Prologue -- “O for a Muse of Fire” · 1 Henry IV (V, iv) -- Falstaff resurrected · Henry V (V, ii) -- Henry courts Katherine · Taming (II, i) -- Petruchio “courts” Katherine · Comedy (III,I) -- “But soft my door is lock’d; go bid them let us in” · Lear (II, iv) -- “Shut up your doors” · Lear (IV, vii) -- Lear/Cordelia Reconciliation · Winter’s Tale (III, ii) · Winter’s Tale (V, iii) · 2 Henry IV, (III, ii) -- Shallow/Silence · MND (V, i) --Bottom’s Dream
At the risk of repeating myself, I love the tavern idea…

Dear Fellow Winedale Weeklongians,
On behalf of Doc and the Committee of Cheerleaders, I hereby emit a big Go, Team, Go!
We would like to get the whole scenes-choosing and role-casting process done and roles disseminated by June 6, when the first session of Camp Shakespeare begins and Doc will be all-consumed by it. To meet that deadline, we must strictly adhere to the ones leading up to it.
Attached is the revised master list of scenes I sent you a few days ago. A a few people weighed in with a more ideas. Also, Robert Jackson, please forgive me for not including your list of scenes the first time around. It and newer material is now included and marked in *bold-face type.
Here is the process just ahead: *By Midnight, MAY 31: Send your top ten scenes to alicegordon@earthlink.net.* (I will immediately forward all lists to Doc and the Committee. Just trying to give everyone only one email address to type in.) Considering the themes we’ve all been talking about, please send us your top ten scenes *from the complete list.* Feel free either to cherry-pick from the list; to vote for one of the concepts sketched out or fully fledged by Gail, Robert P, Robert J, or Matt; or to choose both concept and scenes to make your own list. (If I have overlooked other concepts since the whole group has been talking, please remind us all as soon as you can). Kathy and Jayne’s and Clayton’s proposals seem ways and examples of how to approach any group of scenes once we’re at Winedale, and feel free to state your support or comments about such approaches as well. Our sense is that a lot of us are excited about what they are suggesting. Please keep in mind the time limit we’ve set forth and the number of participants in each scene. Doc urges us to favor ensemble scenes (six or more characters) in the balance, and also to balance longer and shorter scenes. Remember there will be weekenders and audience pop-ups with whom we will share the matinee. *By June 2: Doc and Committee come up with final list of scenes.* The committee and Doc will look at the preferences mathematically, see what rises to the top, and then work out the final choices by considering ensemble or what works better or what’s more appropriate for the context. Once we have the final list, it will be sent out to everybody. Please keep an eye on your email inbox that day. *By June 3: Your requests or preferences, if any. *When you get that list, please let us know if you have very special preferences for roles you would like to play or scenes you would like to take part in. Once we get that information, we’ll have at the casting. *June 5: Deadline for roles to be cast. June 6: List of roles sent to whole group.
Courage! This will mean a fast week-plus coming up.
Make your best haste, All best wishes,
Alice
