Your 100 Word Challenge this week is to write 100 words (no more, no less) based on this prompt:
All the world’s a stage…
This is a famous line from one of Shakespeare’s plays. He wanted people to think about how real life is like a play and we all play parts in life.
You could write about acting, going to the theatre, your favourite films or play, or how it feels to do any of these things! You could even write a review of something you’ve seen performed on stage. I wonder if any of you will write about the best possible show you could imagine… who or what would be in this show? These are just a few ideas to get you going. Good luck!
Please comment positively about other people’s writing… it’s so encouraging!

From my school play in year 4, I think acting is hard to concentrate on with millions of people watching you and you have to not panic. Also it gets embarrassing when you say something that wasn’t on the script or act something you’re not supposed to act.
My favourite films are:
< Turbo,
< Paranorman,
< Frankanwiene,
< Raining Meatballs,
< Marmajuke,
<Up.
These are my favourite films because they are comedy films and there are lots of adventures!
I love going to the theatre because of the acting they do and that it is not just from a disc.
I don’t know why he did it.
He just did. I was a kid, kids can be nasty ,kids can be cruel. I was the back half of the donkey in the nativity and I was angry. I thought about my dad. If he hadn’t run away he would come wouldn’t he? Mum was always working ,I didn’t see her either. All I had was my au pair Becca, but I didn’t like her much. I felt as if I was in a soap opera ,the troubled character that has nobody. I scanned the crowd. My mum wasn’t there. I left the stage. The show must go on without me.
P.S my mum insists that I point out this is in no way based on true events. From Maddy.
Someone once told me,
The world’s a stage,
And every heart and soul is an actor.
And some say this is a ridiculous view
And who would believe it, would you?
I said “no” but there you go.
Could god be holding my puppet strings?
If the world’s a stage then could the sky be fake?
And could the grass be fake too??
Who would know? Was this text supposed to be on paper?
What about card, blue or gray? How about turquoise?
here’s The Question on my mind:
Who would know?
Who would know?
Is the world a stage?
Last year, I went to the play Tom’s midnight garden. It was quite good. There were obviously adults, who were playing the children, but their amazing acting made them look like children. Tom’s brother get’s sick, making Tom have to leave and stay with his aunt. Tom goes back in time because of a mysterious clock that strikes thirteen times. He explores the garden and finds himself in the Victorian times! There is a young girl that he becomes friends with. The old lady that lives downstairs in Tom’s present is weirdly the girl that he meets, in the past.
All the worlds a stage
All the world’s a stage, a role of a mum, the role of a dad, a role of someone really really bad.
The role of a kid flying a kite, a role of a thief in the dead of night.
A role of someone delivering milk, a role of someone who’s suit is made of silk.
A role of a cobra searching for its pray, a role of a person who’s having a nice day.
A role of an actor who’s taking a bow, someone who’s me that’s my poem done now.
The end
Eugene
Loud music, flashing lights
Full of drama and full of life
Lots of passion and lots of fights
Imagine if the world was a stage.
Hatred hanging in the air
A very tense atmosphere
Summer evenings full of bliss
And of course one final kiss
Imagine if the world was a stage.
Booing crowds
Hair and make up
Costumes, shoes
Laughter too
Imagine if the world was a stage.
The grand finale soon approaching
Amazing costumes and dazzling broaches
The last scene has nearly arrived
And the final sound of the final cry.
Imagine if the world was a stage.
A MIGHTY KICK!
As I walk up to take a mighty kick it’s my chance to be a hero. It’s the World Cup Final, the World’s biggest stage. Confidence is all I need so I can win the match. All I need to do is kick that ball into the back of the net.
As I step back for this penalty the wind starts to blow to my left so if I place the ball a little bit wide of the post it will go straight in. My heart is thumping, my legs are shaking as I run and kick…..
Shakespeare is trying to compare the world to a play. He describes the seven stages of life to be like seven parts of a play.The first stage is infancy. A baby crying and puking.Second is childhood when the schoolboy moans his way to school.Third is a lover, he is soppy and tearful. Fourth is a soldier with lots of self esteem and not so selfish.The fifth is justice, he is older, richer and wiser
Sixth is old age. He becomes less powerful and less appealing to others. Last is extreme old age, like a dependent child.
Once in Shakespearean London as a mysterious shape flew over the stage the character boomed “all the worlds a stage”. As a majestic light shone down, there was a high pitched scream. When the smoke cleared the man was gone. Suddenly he was on a ship with lights that were brighter than torches.There were tubes filled with liquids encasing people with unfamiliar masks with massive pipes. Suddenly there was a noise and some men taller than him marched along with mysterious faces. They had black eyes, and tentacles coming out of their mouths. He fought hard but he died.
Jumping running climbing walking flying smiling crying looking at the moon flying to the moon reading writing finding going for a walk going for a run being sad being happy looking sad looking happy looking exploring running for your life slipping going sailing falling eating watching TV watching the great British Bake Off on Tuesday going sledging throwing snowballs throwing snowballs while sledging building snowmen crashing into the bush while sledging skating falling in the water swimming capsizing a sailing dinging capsizing a sailing dinging in freezing cold water diving in at the deep end…
ALL THE WORLD’S A STAGE.
In my room under the chair there stands a stage but not for plays, dances or acting for above that stage is a trapeze some ropes to climb and a tight rope.
One man swings from the trapeze a woman catches him and hauls him on to the tight rope. Then a young girl jumps onto the rope and starts to climb, she twirls herself round then drops into hanging by her legs. Meanwhile someone’s back on the trapeze ducking and-
“Peggy you need to do your homework and you have ten minutes till school starts”
“I’m coming”
