Thanks for your comments, Paul and Traveller.

Yes, Traveller, I used an open book and a flashlight/torch (an old-fashioned one with a conventional light bulb, not with a LED), held in an appropriate angle. Unfortunately, I do not own any book with Shakespeare's Romeo and Juliet in English and I wanted a love tragedy as the background text so I have to use this version with the German text. It is the famous balcony scene.

Oh yes, Paul, the movie; I saw an earler version of it in company of my grandma in the 50's. I did not understand anything eather (even though the movie was in German: how would a 4 year old boy be able to understand Shakespeare).

Really nice....and maybe made especially nice because it is in German. But the light, how did you fashion the light? Or is this natural from an open book? I'll go try....lol

Funny, when I was stationed in Germany in the early 70's I went to see that movie after a few beers with a buddy. That movie was all that was showing in the little village we were stationed at and it was in German. I understood nothing......... I still understand nothing. Paul
