Revising a Scene for a younger Audience?
Q. Help Me out with this if you know..it says: Shakespear wrote to entertain and influence the masses and filled his work with violent, sometimes bloody, conflict. While conflict keeps an audience interested in an imaginative work, violence is usually inappropriate for younger audiences. The scene in Act III involving Cinna the poet and the street rabble is instructive in its display of the negative effects of mob psychology. Consider how the language and the conflict of the scene could be changed to make it meaningful to ten-year-olds. Rewrite the scene for an audience of fourth-graders. If you know how to do this...help me out plz

A. I've done Shakespeare with 8 to 12 year-old kids numerous times. Actually, they seemed to LIKE having the original language. But you can also explain what happens in the scene, what messages have to get out, and have them work at it from there. I seldom had time to have them memorize the adapted language (we would rehearse for four and a half mornings), but as long as they knew what the scene required, they could usually make sense of it. Polonius (11 year-old boy) and his advice to Laertes: Always wear clean underwear.

A. I would have loved answering your question as the subject interests me. I read several books about it, actually; and so it's very hard to answer your question in a few lines. Let's say that crowd behavior, when studied as a whole, betrays the hypothetical mind of a rather stupid, naive, and very impulsive person; regradless of the intelligence of the individuals that compose it. Thus, an assembly such as a senate or a parliament collectively react with no more intelligence than a crowd of laymen in the street. Gustave Lebon remarked this fact first. The basis of crowd behavior is something called "bandwagon effect," but the behavior of large crowds is not entirely explained by this psychological phenomenon. Well, If ever you happens to… [cont.]

What do you think about the people at these town hall meetings?
Q. Well this is a bit of my thought process on the whole thing, whats your take? it seems as if the sleeping giant is waking, what I'm talking about of course, is the events taking place at the town hall meetings. It reminds me of the movie Network when everyone shouts out their window "I'm mad as hell, and I'm not going to take it anymore!". Well the media is framing the debate as dangerous and undemocratic, dangerous only if people don't keep their wits about them, but undemocratic, come on, this is the definition of democracy, mob rule, just a different mob. Though this mob (hopefully) may have an undemocratic intention, in that they wish to restore the Republic to its former glory through the use of the democratic means of the mob. [cont.]

A. Well, you could study the social psychology and economic implications of discrimination for example. Notice that discrimination might come from any side of the fence BTW, from any racial group towards another. And it could escalate to a pandemic level as long as: 1- They have a receptive audience for it. 2- The peer pressure becomes inbearable to the point where it becomes a threat to their whole of life, and have no choice but to join the movement even though they don't believe in it. 3- They want to follow the trend, just because it's the cool thing to do, and doing so would cater to their gregarious/social need to belong to something. That would give them a sense of belongingness and give them a specific identity. 4- They have one or… [cont.]

Read through it yourself and highlight the parts that stand out. If you don't do the research and the work yourself it is pointless and that means you are lazy and directors don't like lazy actors.
