The Play Is the Thing: April 18, 2014

Focus: How can we warm up for Rosencrantz and Guildenstern Are Dead?

1. Enjoying a puppet show performance of "The Eolian Harp," courtesy of Ms. Leclaire and finishing up yesterday's invigorating multiple choice discussion

Please turn in your little slips if you did not do so yesterday.

2. Reviewing Hamlet (and warming up your acting skills): 60 second to perform each act

3. Watching the official 60-second Hamlet: Reduced Shakespeare Company

4. If time allows, reintroducing yourselves to Rosencrantz and Guildenstern via two clips

• Why might Tom Stoppard have picked these two characters for his play?
