Drama Training

This exercise is also used for drama training. The script familiar to this editor was

A "I say number B"

B "Who, Sir(rah)? Me, Sir(rah)?"

A "Yes, Sir(rah). You, Sir(rah)!"

B "Oh, no, Sir(rah)! Not me, Sir(rah)!"

A "Who, then, Sir(rah)?"

The Sir/Sirrah distinction was used to demark relative status and the various participants were obliged to interpret their script by choosing an emotion selected from a wide range - confidence, arrogance, fear, offence, surprise, etc.
