What aim shall I have for this one...
Alright. I have a word limit for dialogue of 50, in which I have to get across what I am trying to portray.
Character bio:
Beth is an actor, who feels she is just about to make her big break in theatre. She's prone to nervousness, and when she does get extremely nervous, she giggles. She has a brilliant memory, and has several hundred characters she is able to call upon at any time and act, improvising a scene around them. She is intelligent, and confident in her abilities--even if she does get nervous.
Emotional undercurrents:
Nervousness, obviously; a certain pride in her talents, as well.
Synopsis:
She comes on stage, her back hunched like an old crone, talking nonsense. She then straightens up, assumes a business-like air and begins enquiring about whether her secretary has called the stock-broker yet. From there she becomes a lot less self-confident, gets out her phone and worriedly confides to the person on the end that she suspects her boyfriend is cheating on her.
She then becomes a small child, and asks when dinner will be ready, and when Nanna is going to get there. Suddenly she's crying, curled into a ball on the floor, and confessing that she poisoned her husband.
She stands up, takes a deep breath, closes her eyes and looks to the side. She says: "Okay, I think I'm ready to start."
Now to write it... oh, dear. This may be harder than I anticipated. May have to cut a character or three. :P
