Late note for Sarah on her script from Friday

sorry I didn't get to this earlier with some feedback--which is more directed toward performance at this late datesome things to think about--monologue is difficult, as you know, having done it at the talent show, but at least on stage you have your hands, your body, your face to help convey what you are trying to say--on the radio you have your voice and you have a long monologue to start the whole thing off. You really need to make sure that you nail it and keep the audience interested in the character. How will you do this? Via voice, obviously, but how else? What it work to have some kind of music playing underneath the monologue? Do you have something that would work for you and the monologue? Give it the right sense of mood?In addition, like with Payback there is a great deal of give and take and exchange between the two characters. You need to make sure that your actors have gone over the piece a great deal before Tuesday so they are on top of the game and their lines.Finally, like with JJ in the detective piece the piece you have written is going to rely on the female doing it. A lot of pressure to really bring her to life. So keep the focus and attention and energy up while performing her.I think it can work quite well.
