Monologue suggestions that would work for two different characters?
I have two auditions coming up with different theaters, one for Ophelia in Hamlet and one for Sylvia in Two Gentlemen of Verona. They’re less than a week apart, so I’ve been toying with the idea of learning one piece to fit both characters so I can really dedicate myself to exploring it instead of trying to learn two pieces at once. Are there any female monologues that would fit both, even though they’re fairly different characters? I tend to do best with the softer, more romantic types so I’ve been combing through those; so far my top choice is Helena’s “How happy some o’er other some can be,” as I think I can slightly alter how I play it for each character, but I’m not fully sold on it and would appreciate any opinions on pieces that would work for both. Thanks in advance!
