The Death of Conchobar Script.

GROUP ACTIVITY

Rewrite the story in your own words and give your own telling of it. This should be a script with characters (one of your characters can be a narrator). You will act this out in front of class tomorrow. Your acting/presentation should take 2-3 minutes and I will time it on a stopwatch. Good luck.

Narrator: Once upon a time there were warriors showing off and were tossing around the brain of Mesgegra. The warrior Cet entered the room.

Conall: You and other warriors can't compare to me because I got thez brains.

Conchobar: True that.

Cet: (overhears the conversation and takes the brain) I shall use this brain to avenge Mesgegra's death.

(Conall and Conchobar follow Cet and enter war)

Women: Come here Conchobar ~

(Conchobar goes to the women and Cet uses the brain of Mesgegra to sorta kill Conchobar)

Narrator: Conchobar tells his warriors that kingship goes to anyone that can carry him to as far as his house. Cenn, one of his warriors, said he would carry Conchobar to his house. He brings him to his physician Fingen.

Fingen: I shall heal you Conchobar, however, I cannot take it out of your head because you will die. So for the rest of your life, just chillax (fix Conchobar's head with thread).

Narrator: Conchobar acted like this for seven years until Fingen showed up to his curb and told some news.

Fingen: Jesus is dead. The Jews killed Jesus.

Conchobar: What has this world come to!!!!~

Fingen: Jesus was nailed onto the cross.

Conchobar: I'm going to kill all the Jews (gets up and kills).

Narrator: As Conchobar fought, the brain of Mesgegra fell from his head and Conchobar died his soul being carried to the Heavens as he was baptism in his own blood, the first pagan in Ireland to welcome be in the Kingdom of God.
