The lines were actually not stressful at all for me. It's just the directing that's killing me.
I know it might sound weird, but I found Shakespeare easier to memorize than my "Vagina Monologues" part. It might be the rhyming. But I've also always felt a natural affinity for Shakespeare. Maybe in another age I was a Shakespearean actor/actress and I'm just hearkening back to a past life. ;)
Thanks, Coral! I'm still nervous, cause we don't have a set (at all - we're going minimal on this thing) - so it will be down to the acting to carry us through. I've got some great people in the cast, but I also have a few who worry me. Oh well. I'm doing what I can do. Next year I'm putting Shakespeare on in August so I can show it in the outdoor ampitheater. June/July here is, unfortunately, the rainy season.
