I am playing Oliver in this play, I love being able to watch others act and see how they do the scenes it's really helpful especially when I don't understand the lines so don't know how to deliver them,, my script also doesn't have much stage directions it makes so much mors sense now I see they physically fight
That's great to hear. It's always important to have different ways of learning, apart from reading. Lots of students are visual learners and these videos should hopefully help reinforce your understanding of Shakespeare.
I know, it's quite interesting isn't it? We are one of the oldest amateur theater companies in Ireland. Established in 1924, we are heading towards our centenary shortly.
To make the opening scene of As You Like It more comedic, you can: 1. Add Physical Comedy: Make Orlando and Oliver's fight clumsy and exaggerated, like a slapstick routine. 2. Exaggerate Dialogue: Have Oliver react dramatically to Orlando's words, like he's overly sensitive or easily offended. 3. Amplify Character Traits: Make Oliver more pompous and self-absorbed, while Orlando could be naïve and misunderstand the situation in a funny way. 4. Use Funny Props: Introduce silly props, like Oliver pulling out a ridiculously long family tree during their argument. 5. Play with Irony: Make Oliver complain about trivial things, like Orlando using his hairbrush, which the audience finds ridiculous. These changes will make the scene funnier while keeping the story intact.

I'm Orlando in this play huhuhuhu, it hurts more than a breakup..
Thank you Mike for watching our video. I'm sure it can't be all that bad playing this role. It's a nice part to have with some very nice lines.
