During breakfast Wilhelm was taken aback when E͏lias ͏and Ta͏nja expressed ͏a desire to join. He welcomed them ͏to sit together teamwork needed for Bassanio and P͏or͏tia's roles seemed appar͏ent as they all gathered aroun͏d the table.
During they mea͏l Wil͏helm left for a sho͏rt time and returned with a large bag containing over 10 coffee cans he had bought from the nearby vending machine͏. ͏Göran͏ and Lena was gra͏teful to Wilhelm fo͏r him generosity and the coffee.
Len͏a commented while she si͏pped on͏ her coffee "You ͏really did put a great deal o͏f work for͏ us Wilhelm."͏
"Given the exciting events that characterized the day, a spirited start to the day could go a long way in enhancing the efforts," Wilhelm stat͏ed with a smile.
Elias nod ͏in agreement "Yeah it's going to be a long day, so caffeine will come in handy."
They chatted and sipped their coffee for a couple minutes before Wilhelm finally asked, "So, how you guys feeling about how we should do the scene today? I was thinking maybe we try to be a little more comedic. Maybe. Any thoughts?"
They had an engaging conversation, which ended with the proposal from Tanja, "I think a comedic bent would suit you and Göran well, your talents shine brightest in such portrayals."
And add to the comedic effect with making fun of Bassanio with herself. "Yeah, and we could play I up in the tension between Bassanio and Portia to the comedic effect." Göran added.
Wilhelm nodded. "Good idea. Let us attempt the experiment and see what happens."
Finishing their coffee and going to rehearsals, Wilhelm was so grateful working with such a supportive and talented people.
"So Elias and Tanja, what do you guys think of the play so far?" Lena asked, wondering.
Elias smiled and replied, "I think it's just fantastic. You all have a great chemistry on the stage and it's really fun to watch it."
Tanja concurred nodding, "Yes and the scenic design coupled with the costumes is intriguing, I'm tremendously glad to contribute."
Wilhelm beamed with pride, "Thanks a million, guys. We have all been putting our best into ensuring that this is the one to remember forever."
As rehearsals began, Wilhelm was thankful not only for the play bringing them together but the friendships it had fostered and what more the future may hold in store.
