Choose a period that piqued your interest from the style periods discussed in class. Within that period, find a play not mentioned in class and take a deeper dive by researching that play. Locate the actual text of the play and choose a monologue (solo speech) from within it that interests you. Then, choose one of the following options:

• Translate the monologue into contemporary terms or speech (i.e., conversational or slang English).
• Design a costume or a set appropriate to the scene from which the monologue is taken.

Submit to Canvas your monologue and contemporary monologue OR your costume design and the monologue it is based on.

Note: Digital Book Index(Links to an external site.) is a good resource for free copies of plays in the public domain.
