Ok, this is a short little post about a great little document that I found. Full credit to Cam Magee, and he summarizes this best: Everybody dies. And THAT is why tragedies are funnier than comedies, when performed by kids melodramatically! From the data I have collected (watching kids perform) ALL kids LOVE to die on stage! Especially, if it’s melodramatic… if they can get a laugh from the audience, the kids are all into it. That’s part of the secret of my books, they’re fun to perform! Nothing like the end of Hamlet where there are several dead bodies scattered all over the stage! See below:
