Script
The following is an imaginary interview with William Shakespeare.
Orsino :
I’m a Verona Times journalist, Orsino. It’s my honor to meet you, the one and only, the greatest of all time, William Shakespeare!
William Shakespeare :
It’s a pleasure to be here.
Orsino :
You are well known as an English poet, a playwright, and an actor. Which one is your favorite title?
William Shakespeare :
Well, recently I released my new play, Romeo and Juliet. I want to be considered a playwright.
Orsino :
Romeo and Juliet!   It must be about love, right?
William Shakespeare :
Yes. It is a story about star-crossed lovers and their tragic love.
Orsino :
Oh my! I can’t wait to see that play! Romeo and Juliet could be the best play of 1597.
William Shakespeare :
You flatter me. I appreciate your saying so.
Orsino :
I hope this play will be as beloved as your previous works.
William Shakespeare :
Thank you so much.
