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?

You haven't lived.

I tried my lines infront of a mate at the local last night, shouting the c-word over the music that was playing in a packed pub was reasonably new to me. I'm afraid for now I still don't understand him anymore than I did. Although I've noticed he goes from being calm one minute to raging the next quite often.
So you commit suicide and then you dance. Brilliant.
About twenty minutes.
But I may get to be in a few dances, so I can't complain.
Anyway, off to the pub now to learn my lines and quench my thirst.

This is just one storyline. There's a few different storylines, mine just happens to be one of them. The rest of them are nowhere near as tragic, but there is a lot of sexual references and swearing, and people who are unhappy with themselves. It's a night out in Bolton.

So is the whole play just this scene or is there a load of ftuff that happens before this?

Because it's lazy, you dont really need to think about motivation in R & J, this is far more interesting.

Also he learns from his girlfriend's death that there is NO sign. Unfortunately, he's starved himself far too long and dies just after learning his lesson.
Food or a doctor would be more helpful. Seriously, if you saw somebody in such a terrible state your first instinct would be to call 999.
