Shakespeare Monologues

The Comedy Of Errors - Adriana
Adriana works with my playing age because she is young, early 20's.
I don't really relate to the character much, but I find the piece interesting because Adriana is a fun character to play and expresses many emotions
The emotional journey starts with confused and saddness then to pleading and anger and finishes with outrag and she is unforgiving. Therefore this monologue would show a huge emotional range.

A Midsummer Night's Dream - Helena
Act 1, Scene 1
Helena works with my playing age because she is young, being between the ages of 18-22.
I can relate to this piece because of the themes in the text; I have be hurt be someone I loved.
The emotional journey shows frustration and anger then changes to longing and sad then scheming.
But I do not think that it would move my acting skills so I don't think I will choose this one.

A Midsummer Night's Dream - Helena
Act 3, Scene 2
Helena works with my playing age because she is young, being between the ages of 18-22.
I was interested in this piece because of the emotional journey it seems fine to play.
Her emotional journey shows anger and frustration, and a new bitchy side to Helena.
This piece can move my acting skills in terms of showing tension physically and vocally, and use of breath to express her feelings.
But I don't think I will choose this one because it won't challenge me and show my acting skills fully.
