i know i keep saying i’m more or less done acting at this point in my life but also if any theater in a 60 mile radius mounted a production of literally any anne carson translation i would chew off my own arm for a chance at literally any role

#are we counting antigonick as a translation?#like. it’s definitely not but also what else Is It #anyway i would play eurydike in an instant there is something about how she opens her only monologue that like #okay sorry i’m about to go certifiably insane in these tags #‘here is eurydike’s monologue it’s her only speech in the play you may not know who she is that’s okay’#feels to me like such a succinct and perfect encapsulation of my experience as a fat and queer actor #here’s her one speech. here’s her one chance. everyone will chant exit eurydike and she will not go #until she does.#you don’t get to be anyone except someone else’s wife or mother or sister or friend #that is your role.#even her whole speech is about someone else. about the pretty girl the young one the tortured one #like poor mrs ramsay killed in a bracket in to the lighthouse.#i don’t think this was at all carson’s intent but smth abt it makes me CRAZY #漫言
