Don’t mind the sleep marks on my leg, but I just noticed the burn I got from leaning against the sauna at Margaret’s (Juliet), and so I wanted to share. Tonight is closing night. I am sad about that. I connected really well with Benvolio yesterday. I want to give it my all tonight. Who knows when I’ll get to work with Joe, Riley, Chris, and Chelsea, again. I want to make sure that I did everything that I wanted to do for this performance before it’s over. Especially considering the amazing adaptation of the Benvolio and Mercutio relationship. It’s amazing. For those of you that don’t know, in this production, Benvolio and Mercutio have a romantic relationship, and thus when Mercutio dies, he has also suffered from love and Benvolio suffers tragic loss.
Every production I was in, aside from one, I spent the next few months going, “Damn, I wish I’d thought of that!” or “Shit, I should have done this!”
I don’t want to do it this time.
I want to shed “Sara” for a night and truly be Benvolio.
“Doff thy name, and for that name, which is no part of thee, take all myself.”
