Reading Act 1

Homework


Choose a speech from this act and prepare it for performance. Your first step is to write out or type the speech. Then read it aloud several times so that you feel the rhythm created by the blank verse. However, watch for end-stopped lines and run-on lines, and don’t let your reading become sing-song. If you have a partner you’d like to perform with, pick a dialogue-perhaps the love “duet” by Romeo and Juliet in Scene 5, lines 93-110.
