Focus: How does viewing a performance of Henry IV help us understand the shifts of Acts 3 and 4?
1. Warming up with a partner: Establishing the underlying purpose of each scene in Acts 3 and 4; consider what's shifting and why
2. Finishing our Act 3 performances, each with a focus and a follow-up question
3. Viewing The Hollow Crown's version of Act 4 with the following focus:
Try to find three directorial (symbolic) choices in The Hollow Crown that emphasize or challenge the underlying purposes you have established for Acts 3 and 4; consider use of colors, physical movements, facial expressions, setting, etc.
(Note to self: Good symbolic choice at 29:16; Act 4 starts around 1:24. Also, 4.1 and 4.2 are reversed.)
