It sounds difficult to write a play, even a small part of it sounds difficult. Writing a play or drama is quite different from writing a story. The main purpose of a play is to let the characters speak for themselves as much as possible. How actors show us what the characters think and feel is also important. Suppose you are the director of this play. Write your own scene for this play with a partner. Act One, Scene 5 Henry is smiling as he leaves the restaurant. As he is walking down the street, he sees a sign for a place that cuts hair. He decides to get it cut. H: Good afternoon, I’d like to get a cut, if I may. (The barber looks at Henry’s hair and continues cutting another man’s hair.) Er-I’d really like to get a haircut. As you can see it’s much too long. B: (In a rude manner) Yes, I can see that. Indeed, I can. H: Fine, well, I’ll have a seat then. (He sits in one of the barber’s chairs. The barber turns to look at Henry) B: It’s quite expensive here, you know! Are you sure you can afford it? H: Yes. I think so. (In comes the rude man) R: Hey you there. I need a haircut quickly. Can you do me straightaway? B: All right, then, get in the chair and I’ll see what I can do. R: Thank you (sits down in one of the barber’s chairs). H: Excuse me, but I was here first. Aren’t you going to do my hair first? B: This man’s in a hurry. N: Well, so am I ! I insist that you cut my hair first. B: OK, but I’ll have to be quick. This gentleman is waiting. H: Thank you. (They both become quiet. After his hair is cut, the barber tells Henry how much he must pay. Henry shows the barber the bank note). B: Why, Mr… (looks shocked) H: Adams. Henry Adams. I’m sorry, I don’t have any change. R: You’re THAT Mr Adams! Well, I’m glad I waited or I might never have known it was you. B: Why, Mr Adams, please don’t worry!(wearing a big smile) Nothing to worry about! Nothing at all! Please come back any time, even if you only need too little hairs cut! It will be my honour t
