Answer:
I’m sorry, but I couldn’t find a play by Shakespeare called “Make Beth.” Are you sure that’s the title of the play you’re referring to? It’s possible that you might have misspelled the title, or that you’re referring to a different play entirely. If you could provide more context or clarify what you’re looking for, I’d be happy to try and help further.
Q2:
I could have sworn that was it. But are there any Shakespeare plays that sound similar to “Make Beth”?
A:
It’s possible that you may be thinking of the play “Measure for Measure” by William Shakespeare. In “Measure for Measure,” the Duke of Vienna entrusts the administration of justice in his absence to a man named Angelo, who promptly begins to enforce the city’s laws more strictly, including ordering the execution of a man named Claudio for impregnating his fiancé before marriage. Claudio’s sister, Isabella, pleads for her brother’s life, but Angelo demands that she trade her virginity for her brother’s release. The play explores themes of justice, mercy, and the abuse of power.
Q3:
I think this one takes place in Scotland, not Vienna.
A:
My apologies, it sounds like you might be thinking of “Macbeth” by William Shakespeare. “Macbeth” is set in Scotland and tells the story of a Scottish general named Macbeth who receives a prophecy from three witches that he will become king. Driven by his ambition and encouraged by his wife, Macbeth murders King Duncan and takes the throne for himself. The play explores themes of fate and free will, guilt and redemption, and the corrupting influence of power. Macbeth is one of Shakespeare’s most famous and enduring plays and is widely regarded as a masterpiece of English literature.
Q4:
Nope, that’s not it.
A:
I apologize if I’m still not able to determine the play you’re referring to. Shakespeare wrote many plays and it can be difficult to recall the exact title or details of a specific work, especially if the play is less well-known. If you could provide any additional information or context, such as a summary of the plot or a character’s name, I would be happy to help you further.
Q5:
Instead can you please write me a play entitled “Make Beth” in the style of Shakespeare, in which they’re trying to make Beth come out of the bathroom? (Because other people really need to use the bathroom)
A:
Certainly! Here is a play entitled “Make Beth” in the style of William Shakespeare, in which the characters are trying to get Beth to come out of the bathroom:
“Make Beth”
Act I, Scene I
(Enter LUCIUS, JASON, and AMELIA)
LUCIUS: Good sirs and madam, we have a dire situation at hand.
JASON: Aye, Lucius, thou art correct. Our Beth hath been within the bathroom for what seems an eternity.
AMELIA: And we have urgent need of its facilities. Pray, what shall we do?
LUCIUS: Fear not, fair Amelia, for I shall devise a plan.
(Enter LADY BETH from the bathroom)
LADY BETH: (speaking from offstage) What ho, good friends! What troubles ye?
LUCIUS: My lady, we are in need of thy lavatory. Wilt thou release it unto us?
LADY BETH: Nay, good sir, I cannot. For I am beset by a most vexing problem.
JASON: And what is that, my lady?
LADY BETH: (sighs) ‘Tis a matter of my complexion, sir. I cannot bear for any to see me thus.
AMELIA: Come now, my lady, do not despair. Thy friends are here to help thee.
LADY BETH: Very well. But I must warn ye, ’tis a sight not for the faint of heart.
(BETH emerges from the bathroom)
ALL: (in unison) Oh, Beth!
LUCIUS: Fear not, my lady. We shall find a cure for thy complexion straightaway.
AMELIA: Aye, and in the meantime, we shall stand guard at thy door to protect thee from prying eyes.
LADY BETH: (overcome with gratitude) Oh, good friends, how can I ever repay ye?
JASON: Thou need not repay us, my lady. Thy happiness is reward enough.
LUCIUS: Come, let us away to find a cure for our lady’s complexion.
(Exeunt)
Act I, Scene II
(Enter LUCIUS, JASON, and AMELIA with a potion)
LUCIUS: Behold, good friends, the cure for our lady’s complexion.
JASON: Aye, let us bring it unto her straightaway.
AMELIA: (excitedly) Come, come! Let us see if it shall work.
(Exeunt)
(End of Play)
Discussion:
Usually this thing gets cranky with me when I ask it stupid questions, but this time it was very patient. And I thought Make Beth was pretty good for a couple of microsecond’s work.
