Critique

Josh and I received a couple of critiques from our friends.

One said he needed to hear it before he could really give an opinion, and the other was very detailed, but I think she thought it was the whole thing and close to being a final draft. Her thoughts still hold, though. And I agree with quite a few of them. Things need to be fleshed out more. We have to remember that more people than just our friends and family will be seeing this show and need to know basic things like
- who we are!
- why are we doing this?

Yeah, good questions.

(Josh just asked from the kitchen if we could do one of the fights as a silent film - maybe Hamlet?

"Hamlet is the wordiest play in the cannon, so we are going to do it completely silent!")

One thing we keep asking ourselves is ,"Will people know enough about the plays?" I mean, almost everyone know R&J, MacB, Hamlet, but what about the others? Other than the two, maybe three people reading this, does anyone know that there's 3 parts to Henry IV? Should we work a one or two sentence description into each scene? Are we clever enough to do that without it sounding like English 101?
