We're reading Julius Caesar now. I ask for volunteers for specific roles. Alan Lackey raises his hand.
Alan: "Ooh, I want to be the cobbler!"
Me: "That's perfect, he's a bit of a joker so you'll be a great cobbler."
Alan: "What is a cobbler?"
Me: "Someone who fixes shoes."
Alan: "Ah, I was thinking, 'I'm a peach cobbler! I'm going to get eaten tonight!'"
Can you imagine how awesome Julius Caesar would be with an actual life-size peach cobbler cleverly rejoining Marullus in Act I scene i? I can, and I have been all day, and I will be whenever I read Act I scene i.
Point, the Bard!
