6. MY FAVOURITE SCENE.

What's your favourite scene/s? Why?

My favourite scene is when William Shakespeare and Viola De Lesseps interpret the work of Romeo and Juliet. As they have an impossible love, die together.
I love the dialogue that say:

(Romeo)

If I profane with my hand unworthiest
This holy shrine, the gentle sin is this:
My lips, two Blushing Pilgrims, stand ready
To smooth that rough touch with a tender kiss.

(Juliet)

Good pilgrim, you do wrong your hand too much,
Which mannerly devotion shows in this;
For saints have hands that Pilgrims' hands do touch,
And palm to palm is holy Palmers' kiss. "

2. THEATRE AT SHAKESPEARE TIMES: THE GLOBE.

THE THEATRE at Shakespeare.

In Shakespeare’s time there were no female actors.The role of women had to be played by young boys who had not gone through puberty.
The plays of this period of time were very last minute. Some actors received their lines just before the play.
They used a technique called “cue acting”. This was when someone sat behind the curtains and whispered the lines to the actors.
The Theatre attracted many different types of audiences. The spectators had a range of seating options available. They could choose to pay the cheapest ticket and be a “stands”.
At the Theatre, it is believed that two plays were done every day, and that both of them were done in the afternoon. They were not done earlier because the sun was too bright. It was not done at night because there was no artificial lighting. This is why the plays were done during the afternoon.
