Duet with Benedick
|
In this category, you will be creating a duet acting scene with Anthony, the actress playing Beatrice in our virtual production of the show that you can learn more about HERE.
This excerpt is from Act 1, Scene 1 of "Much Ado About Nothing." For this duet, you will perform the part of Beatrice. Below is the excerpt of the script these lines were taken from, and the video that you will duet on TikTok is on the right. In the video, your lines are captioned in Blue. BENEDICK What, my dear Lady Disdain! are you yet living? BEATRICE Is it possible disdain should die while she hath such meet food to feed it as Signior Benedick? Courtesy itself must convert to disdain, if you come in her presence. BENEDICK Then is courtesy a turncoat. But it is certain I am loved of all ladies, only you excepted: and I would I could find in my heart that I had not a hard heart; for, truly, I love none. BEATRICE A dear happiness to women: they would else have been troubled with a pernicious suitor. I thank God and my cold blood, I am of your humour for that: I had rather hear my dog bark at a crow than a man swear he loves me. BENEDICK God keep your ladyship still in that mind! so some gentleman or other shall 'scape a predestinate scratched face. BEATRICE Scratching could not make it worse, an 'twere such a face as yours were. BENEDICK Well, you are a rare parrot-teacher. |
