And so it is that my next and final :' { show is coming up. Based on Jim Cartwright's play, "Road", I have landed the role of Joey. He's young, seventeen, and idealistic. He also starves himself to death! Yup, I'm suicidal.
I've done many things at college: been a lead role, played someone HIV Positive, done street theatre, been a panto character, taught school children, been a lead in a dance show. But this is by far the most complex role I've ever been faced with, and possibly always will be.
How do I step into this role? What's it like to be suicidal? You're seventeen, got a girlfriend who really cares for you (Who dies in your arms), what's your motivation?

A mirror?
I'm thinking lack of motivation is probably the problem with him, muh.

Can we have more on this guys background?
How hard is it really, though?
Surely the thought processes behind a suicide are pretty straightforward.
i.e. "life isn't worth living anymore"
And the reasons for those thoughts are in the script?

That you can't go on without your girlfriend.
"How are you?"
"I don't like life, it's boring! I think I'll kill myself!"
"Well if you're bored of it, sure, why not."
"Ok, bye!" *shoots self*

A crossbob original.
I would have said grief if he hadn't picked such a long and drawn out way to die, i dunno, hopelessness(stupid word), resignation, delusional thinking.
Confusion.
He thinks he wants to die, but he's picked a long drawn out way to do it. Which indicates he sort of wants someone to stop him. Or at least, he wants someone to make the feelings he has go away. Because he's so young, the only way he can see of doing that is to die. But because he also has the spark of life that only youth provides, he wants to live through this. He is so in love/lust with his girlfriend that all he can think of is being with her. But does he REALLY want to die?
There's also attention seeking; if everyone knows he's starving himself slowly to death, everyone will pay attention to him. I doubt he'd admit that motivation to himself though.
