The classical monologue that I have chosen to perform in my audition is from the play 'A Midsummer Night's Dream' by William Shakespeare. The play is set in Athens and it is believed to have been written between 1590 and 1596.
Synopsis
The play represents the theme of dark love and portrays the events that surround the marriage of the Duke of Athens. It sees the adventures of four young lovers, Lysander, Demetrius, Hermia and Helena, and a group of armature actors. Most of the play is set a forest inhabited by fairies that are controlling the behavioure of these groups through the use of a magical juice called 'love-in-idleness' that makes the victims fall in love with the first person thet see.
Fairy
In the monologue I will be playing the part of one of the fairies that live in the forest. The fairies live to serve the fairy Queen Tatiana. My character is very proud in what she does. She is very hard working and is willing to do all that she can in order to forefill the needs of the Queen. Although there is no specific age or name of my character she is somewhat of a lower status as she is as we would see as a servent who works for the Queen. Fairies are typically known to be very pretty and dainty with soft voices and elegent movement.She is very well spoken and speaks with disire.
My Monologue
In the monologue that I am going to perform in my audition is spoken to Puck, a mischievous fairy. The fairy that I am playing has travilled a long way to this forest where she is incharge of prepairing in order for it to be fit for the Queen Tatiana. She is informing Puck on her journy and what will need to be done in order for prepair for her Queens arivel. The monologue is spoken with a high amount of passion and desire for what her job contains.
