As tor the four themes: Power, Love, Humor, and Fantasy; they are not quite parallel, but they will provide a wonderful structure for choosing the monologues and scenes. Alas, I must sacrifice concentrating on some of the plots that formed the characters, but I hope that the clarity of the speeches and scene will be so vivid that the audience will move effortlessly through this the play of excerpts.

How have other playwrights accomplished this? My brain goes blank. It’s been too long a morning, so it’s time to stretch. Give up, have lunch—a salad with vinaigrette. I freeze when I see Newman looking out at me from off the dressing label. Sorry, Paul. I kiss the image lightly, apologize, and get back to writing.

“Paul” has been abandoned as I had to discard the original title: “About Henry: The Young King and Tales from His Times.” In the new version Henry V is but one character in the panoply, and the tales are not only from his England and times, but travel to Italy, France, and the Enchanted Forest. The play now is about times, places and characters that are timeless and spread across the landscape.

Of course! “Ageless Dreams: A Shakespearean Panorama,” is a perfect title for a play set in the natural beauty of Rappahannock County.
