This time our exercise was to go to library and find a script for the next lesson. Our deadline for this exercise was on 29 September 2015. As the teacher said I went to library but I couldn't find anything what could come to my attention so I decided to check my books at home. In my home library I found book with monologs and duologues. I chose "The Marriage of Bette and Boo" - Christopher Durang.
Description of my choice:
*FIRST PERFORMANCES: New Your 1985
*AWARDS: Nominated for the Drama Desk Award for Outstanding New Play. Joan Allen nominated for the Drama Desk Award for Outstanding Actress in a Play.
*CHARACTER:Bette
*PLAYED BY: Joan Alllen
*CHARACTER'S AGE: Late 20s
*CHARACTER'S TYPE: She is a fraught mother, after one birth and two miscarriages.
*TIME AND PLACE: Now; Bettie's home in America.
*SITUATION: Bette is on the telephone, late at night, to an old school friend.
!At the moment I can't find the text of this scene on internet but I will try to photocopy from my book and paste here for you to have a look.
I really like this script and when I read it in the classroom I could really feel connection between me and this character even than my character is older than me and have package of survives which no one whished to have. Also I think it present a scene which may have not happened only once in our lives where we are forces to make a phone call to somebody just to talk out what's on your mind and get a little bit of understanding, or just forgetting the worries. What I want to say is that the scene and the text are so realistic that they make it easier for the actor/actress to get in the role with the character and in the situation.
