Preparation for session
BOOKING FOR SCENE WORK IN PAIRS REQUIRES YOU TO CO-ORDINATE WITH EACH OTHER AND NOMINATE ONE OF YOU TO TO BOOK AND PAY FOR A SCENE STUDY PAIR BOOKING. WE HOPE THIS WILL AVOID THE POSSIBILTY OF OVER-BOOKING!
This is an opportunity to explore a duologue taken from the Shakespearean or Jacobean repertoire – a chance to work on high stakes, huge actions and complex relationships, and to further develop your command and ownership of heightened poetic text. We have suggested the following possibilities but of course you can bring your own choice of material.
Hamlet: Hamlet and Ophelia | Act III sc2
Hamlet: Hamlet and Gertrude | Act III sc4
Romeo and Juliet: Romeo and Juliet | Act II sc2
Twelfth Night: Olivia and Viola | Act I sc5
Richard III: Richard and Lady Anne | Act I sc2
Measure for Measure: Isabella and Angelo | Act 2sc 1 or Act 2 sc4
Macbeth: Macbeth and Lady Macbeth | Act I sc7
Othello: Othello and Iago | Act III sc3
The Duchess of Malfi: Duchess and Antonio | Act I sc1 or Ferdinand and Bosola | Act IV sc2
The Changeling: Beatrice-Joanna and De Flores | Act II sc2 or Act III sc4
The Revenger’s Tragedy: Duchess and Spurio | Act I sc2 or Vindice and Lussurioso | Act I sc 3
The Dutch Courtesan: Freevil and Malheureux | Act II sc1 or Malheureux and Franceschina Act II sc2
Other plays worth looking at are ’Tis Pity She’s a Whore; The White Devil; Women Beware Women
