Lawrie's acting

[jumpingpowder.livejournal.com]

Sorry to interrupt the readthrough! I recently saw an all-female Shakespeare production and it struck me that all the parts Lawrie longs for are the male parts. The ones she will never get another chance at after the gender-freedom of a girls' school. In fact Tim (?)points this out re Caliban. - "'she won't [get another chance], you know. It's a man's part'. This was incontrovertible..." I bet Hotspur would have suited her, too. Poor Lawrie!

I bet when Lawrie is Upper Sixth )(or possibly Lower Sixth/Upper Fifth) Kempe will want her to do Viola with Nicola as Sebastian. What would Lawrie prefer to play in Twelfth Night, I wonder: Malvolio?

Probably Malvolio, yes, But she might also be a very good Olivia. All that "older woman unknowingly in love with another woman" Is so often played for laughs and someone who s starting to think she prefers women would make it pleasingly ambiguous.

I would love to see it done with real identical twins. Perhaps in fanfic if not in real life?!
