All the world's a stage And all the men and women merely players: They have their exits and their entrances; And one man in his time plays many parts... Jaques, As You Like It , II.7.139-142

Read Shakespeare aloud.

Choose a play and the number of people who are reading. Playerpart assigns characters from the play to each participant (or Player), trying to give everyone about the same number of lines to read. Sometimes, you get a scene where you have to read lines for two characters who are talking to each other: we call these "conflicts". Playerpart tries to minimise the number of times this happens.
