Breakdown
Aphra Behn is a classic dramatist. Her work comes roughly 50 years after Shakespeare and is very much in the tradition of fully-embodied physically committed performances. Please engage your body in the text and bring us an active physicalization of the monologue or scene. For the audition please choose a side to perform - either a monologue or a dialog. Shotgun will provide a reader. Be prepared to speak about what you like about the play.
