Justification for choosing Twelfth Night (Viola) for my Shakespeare piece

I chose to do a monologue from ‘Twelfth Night’ because I found it hilarious. I loved the love triangle my character (Viola) was wrapped up in. In addition I liked the way the theme of confusion, discovery and love came up in my monologue as it meant I could have many physical objectives to play around with. Also I thought it would be fun to play a character pretending to be a man. It would mean I could play around with my physicality and perhaps modulate my voice if need be. Although I know it’s quite a confusing play but by breaking it down, reading summaries and finding translations I now have a very good understanding of the play and my character’s part in it. I have never done a Shakespeare monologue before so this is a new, challenging but exciting task for me.
