The play revolves around a ‘perceived threat’ and how Lord Weston and Lady Weston react to it. Let’s reverse their roles. Imagine a panic-stricken Lady Weston and a frivolous Lord Weston. Read the following piece of dialogue from the play and rewrite it to suit the changed roles.
LADY WESTON: My dear, your life is in grave danger and you are being so cool. WESTON : Don’t worry. Nothing will happen to me.
LADY WESTON: How can you be so sure? I found this small scrap of paper “Remember Caesar” and it doesn’t look like a joke to me.
WESTON : (Ha! Ha! Ha!) My dear lady, this is also another hoax. Why do you make a fuss asking the servants to bar and bolt the doors.
LADY WESTON: Why do you laugh?
WESTON : What else do I do dear lady? I had fixed an appointment with Mr. Caesar to meet me today to discuss about planting rose trees in our garden as you had wished.
ADY WESTON: Oh! How could I have misunderstood the whole thing! So silly of me.
