Think, when we talk of horses . . .

Think, when we talk of horses, that you see them
Printing their proud hooves i' th' receiving earth;
For 'tis your thoughts that now must deck our kings,
Carry them here and there, jumping o'er times,
Turning the accomplishment of many years
Into an hourglass; for the which supply,
Admit me chorus to this history,
Who, prologue-like, your humble patience pray
Gently to hear, kindly to judge our play.

Grade 9/10 class:  Be prepared to recite this selection in a dramatic way on Tuesday when we come back to school  Say it to your friends and family.  Everyone is impressed when someone knows a little Shakespeare!

Senior Drama:  Actors:  You should be working on your movie scenes.   Writers:  Finish your first draft of your short (less than ten pages or so, if possible)  script.  Theatre Production:  Finish your sketches of the "Fawlty Towers" script.  Use colour and give as much detail as possible.

What a rainy night!  I love an evening with nothing in it (no practices, no sports for my children, no social obligations for me) -- I am going to watch an episode of "The Nature of Things" about Stonehenge.  Then I am going to reread the Fawlty Towers scripts and figure out how to cast it.  We have so many talented actors, it will be hard to choose who gets to play what.
