Today we are going to alter our Julius Caesar play.
1. Below your group will be given a hypothetical situation.
2. You are going to make a short play including dialogue for all of the characters listed below.
3. You will begin your play with an aside for each character to reveal their true feelings.
Situation 1
Caesar survived the stabbing. With help from several local citizens, his body is quickly carried to safety. He is placed in a near-by temple, and the common people have gone for help. Suddenly, Cassius bursts through the door as he attempts to escape several angry plebs. HE hears a noise, turns, and realizes that Caesar is in the temple.
Situation 2
Caesar’s murder has just taken place. Antony is returning to confirm this news. As he walks alone on a street, he is directly confronted by Cassius…
Situation 3
Immediately after Caesar’s murder, Antony and Brutus are alone in Caesar’s house…
Situation 4
Cassius leaves the murder. He climbs the tallest temple to observe the situation…What does he think, see, and feel?
Situation 5
Caesar does not die immediately. All of the characters leave except Brutus. They are alone.
Situation 6
Antony has just spoken to the crowd. Cassius and Brutus flee and head to a near-by cave. They are alone…
Directions:1. Create a character list and general plot structure before you start
2. Summarize Act I
3. Rewrite Act II to fit your new situation
4. Acts III through V should include the new situation
5. Don't forget the asides
