My vaulting ambition has vaulted o’er itself and has broken its back. It’s true, this 33 year old wants to play Romeo badly. Realistically it’s possible, but most likely highly improbable. Hell. Hell and high water. Be still my beating heart, or is it bleeding?

 

Just quietly, < not so secret men’s business > a lot of my male acting friends when drunk, hold their breath and wish to play Hamlet. Personally my secret wishes for Hamlet are that he slip by that gravesite and pulls a hammy. That’s right death by a tight tendon. Sounds good. The point is well, we all seemingly have a part we would die to play or commit dubious actions to play. I would consider a solarium if there was a black Romeo on offer. For me it’s Romeo, you Hamlet.
