Ohhh...this brings back wierd memories for me. Our HS drama dept went to a large Shakespeare festival at SUSC in Cedar City every year. The weird thing happened my Sr year. We were doing our 15-20 min scene from Merry Wives. We were schedualed to preform at the end of a verrrry long day. There were 17-19 teams in front of us. 16 (!) of them did the Wall scene from AMND. I ended up memorizing the entire thing by the end of the day. When we sat on the edge of the stage for our critique from the judges, one of them asked our Fallstaff, "Weren't you just in the last scene we saw?" I got to pop off that, "No the guy you are thinking of played Fallstaff last year." We also got to watch Elizabeth Savage telling the other judges that she needed to shave her legs, just what I wanted to hear fomr a C-list actress
It was a very odd trip and we ended up with 3rd. The year before we did a scene from Henry IV and took 2nd.
