Context
This is the first play that the cast will reenact so it is important that they set the tone for the rest of the play in this scene. While many of Shakespare’s lines are in this scene, there are several tweaks here and there that should be ‘hammed up.’ The physical comedy is important in this scene as well. There is a massive fight scene between the 'Adam' character (as Benvolio) and the 'Daniel' character (as Sampson) that can be as choreographed or as improved as you’d like.
