All the world's a stage

We have a great opportunity this week to see a wonderful play by the greatest playwright, William Shakespeare.  The play is "As You Like It", which includes the speech we all learn in grade 8.  It is a great comedy with terrific relatable characters, a big wrestling match and lots of romance. There are two performances today (Thursday) and one on Friday.  Try to see one of the remaining performances.

Journal:

If you see "As You Like It", write a review of it.  Say what you liked and what could have been improved.  Try to make specific comments about particular actors or scenes, or the set (spectacularly designed and built by Mr. Price), the idea to have the first act in the Williams lounge, anything that you would like to discuss.

If you absolutely can't see the play, then write about another play you've seen.  Include the name of the play and where you saw it (even if it was just at school).  Follow the instructions above.

If you were in the play, write about the experience -- rehearsals and performances.
