Where's the Taming Induction scene with Sly?
I had suggested that and don't see it listed now that I'm doing my 11th hour re-reading of the list.
YIkes.
I had thought to suggest beginning in a barn tavern with the lords and ladies setting drunken old Sly up to be fooled and to watch with his lovely lad an entertainment. The rest would be our chosen scenes.
And at the end the character of Sly, passed out and then waking up to become Bottom and ending with Bottom's dream.
So yikes! If it isn't too 11th hour, keep the Induction scene in mind.
Love, Terry
