Kneeling over top of her in that pure white dress trying to find the words I need to say
was difficult. I had tears in my eyes and my heart felt like it was about to beat right out of my
chest. My whole body wash shaking, and it felt as though I was going to vibrate right though the
floor. All eyes are on me as I am in a trance like state not being able to look away from my
hands. That night looking down at my blood soaked hands would change the way I looked at
myself for the rest of my life.
Romeo and Juliet the first dramatic play I have ever been cast in. My role is Capulet, the
father of Juliet and head of the house hold. The first time I was told that this was the role I was
cast in I was shocked. I am traditionally a Comedian …show more content…
The fact that I knew that only made me
even angrier, and when I went on stage I snapped. As an actor you usually have to be thinking of
four or five things at once like, am I standing in my light, what is my next line, when do I need to
move, do I have my props I’m supposed to, and so on. However when I walked on stage and the
scene got emotional, all other thoughts left my mind except pure anger and rage. I poured
everything that I was feeling into this monologue and onto the actress playing Juliet. At the end
of the scene when I walked off I had to be by myself because I was still angry and wasn’t sure
how to turn it off. After a few minutes I talked myself down to where I could actually think about
what just happen. I had never let go like that at all let alone on someone else, and to be honest it
felt amazing, so much so that I knew I could replicate it. That night I was commended on my
performance, and my director told me “don’t you change a thing in Act 3 Scene 5.” Little did I
know there was an emotional roller-coaster ahead of me by simply adding one element. The
blood.

So much so that the audience gasped when I started. It confirmed everything I had been
working so hard to see in that scene. So far with rehearsals we haven’t had the resources to use
the blood so opening night would be the first night to see it. Romeo and Juliet have sacrificed
themselves for love already and I am about to go on. In the pitch black off stage I dip the palms
of my hands into what I know is the blood although I haven’t seen it yet. I enter the scene where
I see Juliet laying there and I place my hands on her and then bring them up and I see them for
the first time. My hands were almost glowing with the deep crimson color they were covered in.
At that exact moment something happen that I am still struggling to explain. It’s like my whole
life I was just having illusions of emotions and they were never real, because in this moment I
could no longer control myself. The tears entered my eyes and didn’t stop coming. I felt more
connected with myself in that moment than ever before. I struggled to even remember my lines
and what to do because I was so overwhelmed by the amount of emotions that I was overcome
with. My hands were shaking so bad I was sure everyone could hear my bones rattling. I was
