Final Project - Shakespeare Scenes

I will play Tom Snout in Act 3 Scene 1 of Midsummer Night's Dream. Snout is a tinker, trying to act in a play with Bottom, Quince, and a few other characters. In this scene, he helps Bottom and Quince decide how to act out their play. While he is not central to the story, Snout, along with the rest of these 'actors', provides some comedy in the play.

I will also play Watchman 1 in Act 3 Scene 3 of Much Ado About Nothing. The watchmen in this play help to clear Hero's name later on. In this scene, Watchmen 1 and 2 take their orders from Dogberry and Verges.

I also play Sir Hugh Evans in Act 4 Scene 2 of Merry Wives of Windsor. Sir Evans wants Slender to marry a girl named Anne Page, but his efforts to bring the two together led to a challenge to a duel. Evans also observes some of the conflicts caused by Falstaff between Master and Mistress Ford. During this scene, he tries to calm an angry Master Ford.
