Plays

Four: Troilus and Cressida, Romeo and Juliet, Henry V and Henry VIII. Of course, "Chorus" is just a generic name for the person speaking the prologues or epilogues--the actor does not have a character as such.

Just saw Broadway production of Fela! last night. Fela character says that it is a saying shared by among the people that one is to strive to be strong, to stand up for oneself, to be have purpose and to be highly valued in one's community just as water is to all people no matter what the consequence be it simple (ones needs to cook), moderate (one needs to survive (one needs cool off, have source of nourishment) or complex (water is the reason why something negative happened such as a drowning). The person, just like water, can have no enemies (or reasons why it fails) and must be seen as a necessity and utilized for the good of all.

They want the commoners to not celebrate/rejoice the triumph of Caesar because they are just sucking up to him.

1. We don't know exactly which parts Shakespeare played as an actor. If he played the Ghost in Hamlet, as he is supposed to have done, he must have said, "Murder most foul, as in the best it is." among other things.
2. If you really mean which of Shakespeare's quotations he wrote, the answer is of course all of them.
3. If you want a list of quotations, it's pointless. "To be or not to be" is a quotation; so is "To be or not to be; that is the question"; so is "That is the question"; so is "That is the question; whether 'tis nobler in the mind"; and so is "nobler in the mind". They are all quotations from the same speech in Act 3 Scene 1 of Hamlet. And you can do the same sort of thing with any speech anywhere in any of the plays.

It is actually considered a comedy but one reason for thinking it is a romance could be that Miranda and Ferdinand fall in love.

In Shakespeare's Much Ado Don Pedro is a prince of Aragon who has recently completed a successful military campaign (we are not told against whom) and is stopping with his friend Leonato the governor of Messina on his way home.

Giles says he broke charity with the woman because she was spreading rumors and accusations about others in the community without any evidence to support her claims. He felt that her behavior was harmful and unfair, so he could no longer show her kindness or support.

His father turned a blind eye to it. Willy thought he was encouraging Biff's initiative. In reality, he was teaching him that getting ahead was more important than how you got there.

Juror #3 (Lee J. Cobb) had lost his relationship with his son and was very bitter about it.

Juror #10 (Ed Begley) was a racist.

There are 10 teams, so any given team will play all of the other 9 teams, resulting in 9 games for each of the 10 teams.

Multiply the 10 teams by the 9 games each team times 2 times will play to yield 180 games.

180 games includes duplicates (i.e., double-counting). In the counting of 180 games, we included the games team 1 played against teams 2 to 10. However, when we counted the number of games played by team 2, and likewise by teams 3 to 10, we also counted the games that these teams played against team 1.

In other words, you cannot count as a unique game both Team 1 vs. Team 2 and Team 2 vs. Team 1. Based upon the question ("how many games are played in total"), we must find the number of unique games.

Based upon this double-counting, 180 games is twice the number of games actually played. If we include only half the games we counted (including games such as team 1 vs team 2 while eliminating non-unique games such as team 2 vs team 1), we end up with a total count of 90 games (=180/2).

"Back in the day" it was young boys or teenagers (male) who acted women's parts, because women were not allowed on stage. Because of their different diet most boys did not start puberty until their mid-teens and their voices would not break until the age of around 16 or 17. If a boy was a very good actor his balls would sometimes be cut off to stop him physically maturing and to keep his high voice so he could still be used for women's parts. Once a boy actor's voice broke he was virtually worthless and many ended up destitute.

Her servant, Emilia, tells Othello that Desdemona has not done anything scandalous. Emilia goes further to say that if Desdemona is not an honest, chaste, and true wife, then such person exists.

She tells the guests to leave and to let the king calm down. That's not exactly how it's put, but its still good enough. She is rather brusque about it. She says, "Stay not upon the order of your going but go at once." In other words, "Don't hang around saying goodbye, GET THE HELL OUT OF HERE!"

He asphyxiates her

HOW HIS BRIDE CAME TO ABRAHAM by Karen Sunde began as an Off-Off Broadway anti-war play (1992) and is now in development as a feature film. Set in South Lebanon, it is a love story born out of the same conflict as the 2009 Academy Award nominated WALTZ WITH BASHIR. ABRAHAM explores the confusion of violence and its unintended consequences. When a fleeing refugee encounters a wounded soldier, Palestinian and Israeli characters clash, then ignite a passion that heals. It taps three genres - star-crossed romance where opposites meet on a battlefield; enemies trapped together who must rely on each other to survive; and lovers whose cultures divide and estrange them. Although its story is intimate, young love at risk of deadly violence, ABRAHAM also depicts Mid-East warfare and the private struggles with history that haunt its peoples. Audiences say the story shows the humanity of Israeli and Palestinian adversaries who have to depend on each other, that it opens hope and envisions a path to co-existence. PLAYS INTERNATIONAL called it "One of the most powerful anti-war plays ever penned." IN THE BEGINNING, THE PLAY ABRAHAM was first produced at the new-play venue, Playwrights Theatre of New Jersey. Subsequently it had multiple performances and readings in New York and nationwide at theatres and college campuses. ABRAHAM's first publication was in PLAYS BY KAREN SUNDE (Broadway Play Publishing, New York, 2001); its second was as a single, HOW HIS BRIDE CAME TO ABRAHAM (Broadway Play Publishing, New York, 2006). In 2002 an Equity revival opened at Playwrights Theater; in 2003 the play had an Off-Off Broadway production at Looking Glass Theater by Praxis Theatre Project, New York, in which the current actors were discovered, a score composed, and a documentary about the project, PLAYING PEACE, began shooting. The play's official premiere was in January 2004 at the Unicorn Theatre in Kansas City. Stage work continued with a production for International Catholic Associations by Actors Stock Company/NYC in 2006 and one at Youngstown University, 2008, and readings at other venues, including the Princeton Middle East Society at the Woodrow Wilson School for International Affairs, twice at Stanford University for their Sociology of Terrorism seminar, and in New York, for Congregation Ansche Chesed synagogue, the Cathedral Church of St. John the Divine, and twice for the Israeli/Palestinian Working Group at Quaker House, the United Nation's sanctuary for quiet diplomacy. ABRAHAM FILM PROJECT Because of ABRAHAM's impact on audiences and requests from many groups unable to afford an individual production, Karen Sunde rewrote it as a film that could travel anywhere. The film project was immediately sponsored by IDOC/North America, a non-profit dedicated to fostering human renewal, education, and democratic ideals. Then in 2008 Full House Productions in New York donated sound studios, engineering, and editing to create an Audio Play of ABRAHAM. To date, the film's creative team has included (with many others) cinematographer Yahel Herzog ( "The Making Of" films BOURNE ULTIMATUM, THE INTERPRETER, UNITED 93), producer of PLAYING PEACE; screenwriter Karen Sunde; Amir Babayoff, a lead actor in the Israeli television series WINGS; and Maya Serhan, a Palestinian/American actress (DEAR J, TOGETHER, LAW & ORDER). Babayoff and Serhan also are featured in ABRAHAM's trailer (2008).

Both Audrey 1 and Seymour get eaten by Audrey 2. Then, Audrey 2 takes over the world.

Medea was made to fall in love with Jason by Aphrodite

The text is not explicit on this point, but from Act 2 Scene 5 we get an idea of what kind of a home life Jessica has had. She is basically expected to shut herself up in the house and communicate with nobody. Shylock will not even allow her to listen to music out in the street. It might well be surmised that for Jessica, home is a prison, and Lorenzo is her ticket out. However, as is apparent in the often-cut Act 3 Scene 5, she is still a Jew as far as the Christians are concerned, and she has cut herself off from the Jewish community by professing Christianity. It is apparent by Act 5 Scene 1 that she has paid a very high price to get out of her home.
