I am in middle school. we are doing our first monologue. this will be my first monologue. i am really nervous. i need help on how i should say the monologue and some hand motions i can do.
here is the monologue:
"Two households, both alike in dignity,
In fair Verona, where we lay our scene,
From ancient grudge break to new mutiny,
Where civil blood makes civil hands unclean.
From forth the fatal loins of these two foes
A pair of star crossd lvoers take their life;
Whole misadventured piteous overthrows
Do with their death bury their parents strife
The fearful passage of their deatth markd love,
And the continuance of their parents rage,
Which, but their childrens end, nought could remove,
Is now the two hours traffic of our stage,
The which if you with patient ears attend
What here shall miss, our toil shall strive to mend."
So if any experienced actors could help me it would be greatly appreciated!!!
