Hamlet Creative
The Sixteen Minute Hamlet
This is your opportunity to bring a script to life as part of a class project. Each group is
assigned a scene or two (maybe three) to re-enact. This is an opportunity to learn roles and
interpret the text. The following tips will help your group to achieve that coveted level four:
1. Memorize your lines. They are few in number, and having a prompter is possible.
2. Ensure that your delivery conveys a tone that is consistent with the speeches' content.
3. Include any props, music, costumes, etc. that will enhance your production.
4. Work out your blocking (movements), gestures, and facial expressions in advance.
5. Ensure that you listen to your colleagues as opposed to simply waiting for your lines.
6. Encourage and give constructive criticism.
