By the Pricking of my Thumbs, Something Witty This Way Comes

2/3/2023

The eleventh- and twelfth-graders have started Shakespeare! They began their explorations into the Bard by crafting their own Shakespearean insults—some personal favorites were "greasy, onion-eyed hedge-pig" and "saucy dog-hearted eggshell."

Once everyone started getting a handle on the language, they read and acted out Act I Scene I (after all students solemnly swore not to mortally wound any of their classmates with ruler-swords). Who knew Stanbridge was so full of talented Shakespearean actors!

Being in the right place in the right time on campus means grabbing spectacular moments like these. Thankfully, Ms. Julia beckoned us in to get a glimpse at this rousing round of Shakespearean insults. These impromptu performances were worth the highlight reel to share with our community.
