Our Shakespearean drama class

In class we decided to perform two different plays of Shakespeare. To do that we have had to divide our class into two groups. Each person had to choose between Romeo and Juliet and Much Ado About Nothing. I decided to act the second one, so I wrote my name on that list and I joined the group.

First of all, we started dividing all the acts in Christmas. My partner and I agreed to summarize the first one, and when everyone finished their part, our teacher told us that we had to start writing the script. I would say that this part was the hardest because sometimes we were not very creative. In that moment we talked about how we would like to write the story and finally we decided to update that play, I explain: The characters of the play are the same as in the original story, but what we did was explain Much Ado About Nothing like if it would have happened in the 21st century and we agreed in changing a little bit of the story too.

We have not finished yet, we have already recorded one scene but we still have to finish all the others. I am sure that it will be amazing!

However, stage and decor are almost non-existent in traditional theater. Another difference is that modern theater is based on written texts. However, plays are not performed in traditional theaters depending on the written text. There is improvisation in traditional theatre. Traditional theater is based on comedy. One of the most important source...

ABOUT ROMEO AND JULIET Romeo and Juliet is a worldwide famous play based on a tragic story of young lovers with enemy families. The whole story is about the conflict between hatred and love which is the main opposition in the play. You will be able to see many feelings and situtations because of this two powerful emotions through the process. Selfishness, pain, anger, trust, sacrifices... And at the end of the story, regrets. With Shakespeare's poetic and unique style, this experience is going to make a lasting impression on you and maybe will make you think about your priorities and what kind of situations can your behaviours cause.
