    Hi there Shakespeare Sarah, THANK YOU SO MUCH, you have helped me so much as I'm about to do a stage play on midsummer and puck being my character I did not know how to go about the epilogue. I've watched how others have acted theirs and the way you explained this had made me confident in how I want to deliver this closing part. ,🙏🙏🙏

    Oooh I might do! I’ve just had a few T&C requests. That’s how I discovered your videos! I was trying to refresh my memory because I haven’t seen or read it for a few years. And as I said, I don’t love it, so I think I’ve erased it from my memory 🙈

    Sorry, I disagree about the audition. I auditioned for the NYC Shakespeare in the Park with this piece. Is there a more prestigious event of its kind in North America? I got a callback on the spot for Philostrate.

    It's great that you got a callback. It's not a hard and fast rule of course, and I do like this monologue overall! For younger or newer actors, I generally suggest staying away from epilogues for auditions because unless they're done very well, they can be very underwhelming.
