1. Scene 1: In groups of 7, construct the scene from line 26-123. Big Questions: How funny is too funny? How do you balance the comedy and the serious tone of Balthasar and AE's final speeches? How do you reign in the audience and the actors?
2. Scene 2: Let's look at lines 85-138. Some would say this section is sexist and chauvinistic, showing contempt for women and other nations in its stereotyping. How would you justify this in a staged performance? Look closely at mood, tone, pace, pauses, movement, gestures, etc ... What is each characters' motivation?
