Worksheet 5
Scene 4: At the Ranger’s House. Scene 4 is amusing because the audience knows that Peggy is teasing
her father.
The Ranger is frustrated because Peggy catches him out with his own words.
The Ranger tells Peggy that she shouldn’t get too friendly with Aboriginal people. He says some
things just don’t mix.
Peggy challenges how her father could know this as he doesn’t know any Aboriginal people.

1. When the Ranger says some Aboriginal people can’t be trusted.

Scene 4, Interlude, 5

Interlude
An interlude is a short performance between the acts of the main performance. An interlude sometimes
breaks tension with some light entertainment, or it can remind the audience about some detail in the
main story.
In Honey Spot, the interludes take the form of mimes (the performers act out the scene without speaking)
and are accompanied by music.
The interlude between Scenes 4 and 5 shows a snapshot of the Winalli’s life at this moment in the play:
times are tough. Mother looks after the boys as best she can, but William shows that the hard times make
him unhappy.
Activity:
Draw a picture in your workbook showing what the stage might look like during the interlude. Include
characters, lighting, props and costume.
