Auditioning for Beatrice

[donna_supertemp]

Donna has been looking forward to this since she saw the advertisement about auditions. She knows she can play Beatrice and definitely has the dramatic flair for it. The comedy chops. She hopes she reads across from someone, but if she doesn't, she'll pick any piece out of the play. It's her favorite, having read it at her granddad's suggestion a long time ago.

Standing on stage she waits for direction, tying her hair back.

"Next!" Martha called out, leaning back in her seat. She was beginning to despair that there was anyone who could act in this place.

Donna doesn't have a script in front of her, but when she hears next, she goes on and simply starts at Beatrice's first main chunk of dialogue.

"He set up his bills here in Messina and challenged
Cupid at the flight; and my uncle's fool, reading
the challenge, subscribed for Cupid, and challenged
him at the bird-bolt. I pray you, how many hath he
killed and eaten in these wars? But how many hath
he killed? for indeed I promised to eat all of his killing."

She's gesticulate, and clear, adding the touches and tones where she needs to. Then she moves to the next part as if she had someone to act against. She stops after 'well, we are mortal,' and waits for any sort of further instruction.

Finally, someone who had at least a little bit of talent or skill in the art. "Very good," she said, nodding thoughtfully. "Have you done any acting before?"

[donna_supertemp]

"No," Donna replies. "It's just my favorite. Well, I did a bit in school."

[hasgoodgraydar]

"Not bad." For a beginner, anyway. Martha could work with her, get her to produce her best work. "But yes, it's one of my favourites as well."

"So, you think I have a good shot?" she asks, not knowing who else is auditioning as she comes off the stage.

[hasgoodgraydar]

"I will never tell anyone in advance how much chance they have," Martha grinned. "It isn't fair on any who have been before, or will come after you."

[donna_supertemp]

"Sounds decent," Donna says with a little smile.

"Do you do this back home? Theater, I mean."

[hasgoodgraydar]

"Oh yes, I'm a Broadway actress," Martha said, puffing herself up slightly. "So very used to doing this kind of thing."

[donna_supertemp]

"Well fancy you," Donna says with a smile. "This'll be fun, no matter what the part is. I should let you get on with it, then."

[hasgoodgraydar]

"I will let people know as soon as I've made a decision," Martha nodded.

Donna reaches out and shakes her hand. "Thank you. This was fun, anyway," she smiles, then takes her leave. She's not positive that she has the best chance, but at least she'd done it.
