Good Masters! Sweet Ladies!: Voices from a Medieval Village by Laura Amy Schlitz
My rating: 4/5 cats
this was a lot more fun that i thought it would be. it’s written to be performed by children, as a series of monologues, mostly, so everyone gets a nice part and no one has to be the tree or the rock or anything. so if you have 17 or so kids (jen, i’m looking at you), you can perform this in the privacy of your own home or take to the streets and entertain the whole neighborhood. i actually learned a few things about daily life in medieval times, and selected a part for myself (barbary, the mud slinger), should an 8-year-old become ill or stage-frighted. fingers crossed for stardom…
