Death of a Salesman - Scene - For Monday, April 12!

In Quarter 4, we are going to be working closely with a two-person scene from Arthur Miller's Death of a Salesman. You will be divided into pairs for work on this scene that will involve learning the lines and performing the scene in class. The role of Willy will involve learning a bit more than that of Howard, so decide with your partner how you will be casting your scene. (If an agreement cannot be reached between a pair, I can assign the roles.) Though this scene involves two male roles, it can still be effectively played by girls.

The scene begins in the middle of page 76 with "Willy: Pst! Pst!" and ends on page 84 with "Howard:...Pull yourself together, kid, there's people outside." Please have your lines learned by April 12 (our return from break).
