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.

Famous quotes containing the words drama and/or training:
“We live between two worlds; we soar in the atmosphere; we creep upon the soil; we have the aspirations of creators and the propensities of quadrupeds. There can be but one explanation of this fact. We are passing from the animal into a higher form, and the drama of this planet is in its second act.”
—W. Winwood Reade (1838–1875)
“When the child is twelve, your wife buys her a splendidly silly article of clothing called a training bra. To train what? I never had a training jock. And believe me, when I played football, I could have used a training jock more than any twelve-year-old needs a training bra.”
—Bill Cosby (20th century)
