Can't stand up from falling down

Brief plot synopsis
The monolgue I have chosen is one that Lynete performs in the play. She has resorted to locking herself in a room to protect herself from Roy's angry fits. Roy smashed everything in the kitchen and she tries to tidy it up but she cuts her hand. Roy and Lynette have a confrontation which ends in him hitting her. She then stop's talking about the meory and lets out about how she honestly just wishes him dead.

Where did you get them from? E.g. from the internet
Iwas first introduced to the play when our GCSE watched it performed by an older group of students. I re-read the script as an option to use in my as my GCSE performance. I read it again recently in a collection of female monologues folder and then chose this particular monologue.

Why did you consider the piece?
I was familiar with the play and the backstory to Lynette's character and how trapped she is. There is also a moment when she turns into Roy and acts his part of her story which creates a dynamic within the performance.

How does it show your strengths as a performer?
I think that I have a strength of being able to quickly snap between different characters and creating that imediate contrast. I also think that I would be able to adapt my voice to appear shaky and scared as she is in most of the piece.

Were there any draw backs from choosing this piece?
Suddenly changing into the character of Roy may be challenging to make sure there is still a serious tone and it doesn't turn into humour and wreck the dramatic effect.

Could you find a solution to the issue
The main solution is to make sure that I perform Roy's character with conviction and so feirce to that they don't dare to find it funny.

Why did you eventually choose or not choose this audition piece?
I chose not to do this monolgue because of how well known it is and I didn't want to run the risk of performing a monolgue that the viewer would be bored of watching.

What would be the contrast between this piece and others you have chosen?
Lynette is abused, fragile and vulnerable to a contrast would be a strong, independant character. The subject matter is also about an abusive husband so a contrast would he a happy relationship or a relationship with someone else.
