How to use this preview
Start with your own reading.
This is a reading plan, not a performed scene. There is no audio, timing target, score, or right answer. Notice the words that pull your attention, write your first interpretation, then compare two sample director choices.
The excerpt
Read it once without a plan.
Read the printed directions as fixed. Delivery, focus, pause, and emphasis are choices to discuss.
