Cool quote! I can see it now-- CSI Shakespeare. There are certainly plenty of dead bodies to investigate...

Horrors! That Zombie party affected me!

How now! a jjschwabach? Dead, for a ducat, dead!

Hmm. Wonder how much a ducat is worth these days? *grin*

Yours is from Lear, but I have no idea where this one's from!

[jjschwabach.livejournal.com]

Yours at least is more positive :-).

[sylvia-rachel.livejournal.com]

Indeed ...

It's Mark Antony, surely? Not quite the "I come to bury Caesar, not to praise him" speech, but same scene, same mood...

[sylvia-rachel.livejournal.com]

True! Good call -- I'd never have got that one. The only speech I know from that play is "There is a tide in the affairs of men ...", and not even all of that one :P.

While I recognized yours as being from Julius Caesar, but had to look mine up to figure out it was Lear.

[sylvia-rachel.livejournal.com]

Good call!

That explains it: Julius Caesar is one of the few I've never read and never seen.

In 8th grade we performed excerpts from Julius Caesar. I doubled as both Caesar and director--my directorial style ensured that the cast was rather enthusiastic when it came time to stab me with their cardboard daggers.

Hee :)

My high school English teacher was all about the reading aloud and acting out (which was awesome). My friends and I for some reason did a lot of scenes in drag -- I particularly remember playing Torvald to my six-foot-six male friend CB's Nora Helmer in some scene or other from A Doll's House ...

Damn that pbray, killin' us softly with her song...

And in my case, for only a ducat.
