We started rehearsals for As You Like It this week.
I was going to play Jacques, the one that gets to say "All the world's a stage" but time and the fact that multiple auditioners put down that it was their preferred role caused me to tell the director not to cast me as Jacques after all. I'm playing the exiled Duke instead. I only have 2 scenes which is for the best, really, what with production headaches and dealing with the kitchen reno, but it was also a mistake because all of my scenes are with Jacques and although I like the actor personally, I do not like their interpretation of the character very much. It's making rehearsals not that much fun. Oh well.
No. Too low energy. She'll get better once she is off book, I'm sure. Jacques is about pacing. He's "Monsieur Melancholy" but one shouldn't luxuriate in the language, those monologues need to move or they will be boring. The melancholic languor needs to come from body language, not languorous speech. No one wants to feel like the Seven Ages of Man speech is taking an actual seven ages.
"He's always over-acting. He was last in his class at Police Acting School".
I can never resist a Nick Danger reference.

Bundabergdevil? Things got a little out of hand. It's just this war and that lying SOB Johnson.
