What if Sherlock Holmes got to sit in on an autopsy performed by Bones?


They are both highly intelligent, rather obsessive individuals. What sort of dialogue would they have?

OR, what if they weren't at an autopsy, but out in public somewhere--say, at a movie or at the circus? What kind of dialogue would you envision in a mash-up of these two shows and characters?

Or what if the characters from Spongebob ended up in Hamlet's Castle, or on MacBeth's heath?  How would their dialogue alter (and perhaps ruin) Shakespeare forever?

With one or two partners, decide on two works and mash them together in a little script. For example:

MACBETH: What manner of creature are you, that appears so unexpectedly on this foul day?

SPONGEBOB: I'm Spongebob! I live in a pineapple under the sea, but you have a really nice field here. A little gray, but that can be fixed with a little bit of IMAGINATION!

MACBETH: (aside) I fear I have too much IMAGINATION, for it sees a crown dropping upon my head.

Et cetera. What sort of mash-up will you create? Use it to generate a distinct PLOT.
