Writing Shakespeare (well, sort of)

It was an idea that spawned, mainly, from a backstage conversation with one of the main characters in a production of Much Ado About Nothing that I recently finished at a local community theater.   

We
were discussing our favorite moments, as actors, when this particular
actor casually mentioned that her favorite moments were the nonverbal
ones, where the character is making the myriad of delicate and deliberate decisions that lead up to a character’s line.

What a thought! Could some of the strongest choices an actor makes be, in fact,
nonverbal?  If so, would it be possible to highlight those choices?  How?

I
mulled on it overnight, and early the next morning I came up with what
I felt was a solution.  I took a line that a main character
spoke during the play, and I detailed his choices, writing them as,
well, a writer would.  That is, narrating with the alliteration, intrigue, and
flourish that I felt would showcase the beautiful choices that define great performances.  Then I took what I wrote, and made it into a little promo
poster for the actor and show.  Then I wrote another, for his feminine
counterpart.  

This is what I came up with:

Following a moderately successful social media test, I decided to write a few more: 

And even more… 

And that, my friends, is the time that I (however impiously) decided to write about Shakespeare.
