The play that my monologue is from is Romeo and Juliet which was written by William Shakespeare between the years 1591-95. Romeo and Juliet is set in Verona.
Synopsis of Romeo and Juliet
Romeo and Juliet is a love story based on a man and a woman from two rival families. Romeo and Juliet are in love however their families despise one another, therefore cannot fulfill their love. The play follows the love story between these two and their struggles throughout it and with other characters helps wish to get married.
Friar Lawrence
The character that I will be playing is Friar Lawrence (Local priest in Verona). Friar is a well respected man and has very high morales. Hearing Juliet's story he feels it is his duty to help her by offering advice and planning for them to get married, Friar has the best intentions in his plan because his main aim is to end the family feud and make everyone get along with one another. Friar is around 50 years old and of a high status/
My Monologue
The monologue I am performing is just after the tragedy has happened. In the scene Friar is telling his story to the Duke and Capulet who could banish him from the city so he wants to relieve his guilt. As he is telling his story he has very mixed emotions from remorse, sadness, guilt and anger and what has happened and also what he has done.
