Great job with today's work on Act I, Scene I, ladies and gentlemen! I was really delighted to see things starting to come together, and there were some great ideas for how we can improve that scene.
As a reminder, your homework, which is due in on Monday, is to write up your own version of what we did in class. We've only worked on the first half of Act I, Scene I so far, and that's fine - please take it from the policemen's entrance through to Perth's entrance. As I said in class, I'm expecting you to set this out in playscript style, which means beginning with some stage directions to explain where the characters are supposed to be and what sort of things are on the stage, as well as descriptions of the characters themselves. (Playscripts, unlike novels and poetry, are working documents and we want to give the actors as much helpful information as possible to help them with their performances.)
These are the character names, for those of you who are unsure:
THE CAPULETS:
Sampson & Gregory
Tybalt
Lord & Lady Capulet
THE MONTAGUES:
Abram & Balthasar
Benvolio
Lord & Lady Montague
THE PRINCE
