Audition: Next Friday

Year 6: Romeo & Juliet Audition (Thursday 29 January)

As 11+ ends our school play begins! Year Six are about to dive headlong into Shakespeare's Verona!

Homework: Learn either Romeo or Juliet's lines from the 'meeting' scene from Act 1 Scene 5 of Romeo and Juliet. We will hold our first 'audition' next Friday.

Year 5: Final 'Romeo & Juliet' Audition

Your Thursday night homework is in two parts:

1. Learn the 'root words' for the test next week.

2. Learn the lines for the Apothecary. Romeo knows that in Mantua death is the penalty for selling poison, but he thinks that the desperately poor Apothecary would take the risk. He's right! Remember, the apothecary is afraid to sell the poison, but he can't turn down the money.

We'll have an audition next Wednesday!

Year 5: Romeo & Juliet Audition (Wednesday, 14th January 2008)

Romeo's manservant in Romeo and Juliet is Balthazar. We are going to audition for the part of Balthazar next Wednesday. This is a key role: it is Balthazar who delivers the news to Romeo that his beloved Juliet is 'dead'.

Task: Please learn all of the Balthazar lines for next Wednesday!
