CORRECT PRONUNCIATION GUIDE
Hello everyone!
After a good bit of research, I've put together these handy pronunciation guides for everyone, so that we are both standardized within the cast and universally correct, no matter who comes to see us. In the event that any world-renowned Shakespeare scholars come to see our production (which is sincerely a very real possibility), this is a very easy way for us to hold on to our street cred. :)
Please take the time to observe these pronunciations if you say any of these names out loud during the play.
This is an unlisted page, meant only to be viewed by the cast of [They Fight]. Please do not share.
Love,
