Task

In drama, the characters' dialogue and actions tell the story. The written form of a drama is called a script. A script usually includes dialogue, a cast of characters, and stage directions. The stage directions are generally printed in italics. As you have seen in A Midsummer Night's Dream, dialogue for a play appears without quotation marks.

You are the playwright today. Open 10.04 Dialogue. Choose a particular scene from the play thus far. Create a dialogue for that scene and place the setting for the characters in present day (for example, instead of in the woods in ancient times, the dialogue might take place in a mall in the year 2017). The scene should mimic the original; however, the language and setting should be modern.

Submit your completed work to the 10.04 Dialogue Dropbox.
