wanting to play mercutio in the Romeo and Juliet production we’re doing this year but terrified of talking to my director about it
#she generally would listen to you if you said you wanted a specific role#its not that i dont think shell give it to me#but im afraid i wont be able to do it justice#because ive never played anyone like him before#(well if im being honest i dont think ive ever played a role that had a lot of personality on its own)#(ive mostly had small roles who were all very diy in the way you could play them)#(so you know roles who have a big impact are kind of terrifying to me)#but ive never been more drawn to a character before#i dont know what it is about him#ive already been doing the work i would have to do for any role unconciously from the moment i first read the play#ive been obssessed with him#watching any and all productions and movies about r&j i can find but skipping everything else and watching his scenes specifically#seeing all the different interpretations#imagining how these scenes will go in the production and setting we re aiming for#we ll also rewrite several lines to make them more modern and i ve already rewritten half of his in my head#and have several idea for the other half#i want to play this role so badly#and at the same time im TERRIFIED of actually playing it#acting is already out of my comfort zone#playing mercutio? even more so#BUT#BUT I WANT TO#urgh#maybe its time to actually stop letting my fear stop me from doing things#ive been working with this director for five years#and im leaving next year (probably)#maybe its time to go out with a bang#romeo and juliet#personal
