Archie CHARACTER NAME: Archie Westcliffe ROLE WANTED: Anything will do! WILL YOU PLAY ANY ROLE?: Yes (willing to dress in drag, too) PREVIOUS ACTING EXPERIENCE Multiple singing parts in small community theatre projects, some Shakespeare, including some roles as women, due to his petite build.
It's been over a century since Archie last auditioned for anything, and though he's very nervous, it's something he's always enjoyed doing, something he's always wanted to do, and he has confidence in himself even if he is a little rusty. He's chosen Oberon's speech from a Midsummer Night's Dream, which he has watched recently. Perhaps he can't quite embody the part or character of Oberon, but the monologue is certainly delivered with some character.
"I should perhaps have done something in an American accent-" he muses at the end. "I don't know how regionally specific I can be, but I can do one- should I? Would you like something else?"
