1. What play did you choose? Vigils by Noah Haidle
2. Why? (2 sentences) I chose this play because its about a woman who is a widow and she converses throughout the play with her dead husbands soul. I thought this was very interesting and would be cool to preform.
3. What moment in the story seems the most resonate with you? (3 sentences) Themoment in this play that evokes the most feeling for me would probably be the end. The widow finally realizes that she must let go of the soul for herself to move on and be happy. This was both sad yet a good thing for her at the same time, a very bittersweet feeling.
4. Who are you playing? I am playing the widow.
5. List one example of their given circumstances? (1 sentence) The woman is a widow because her husband was a firefighter and died in a fire trying to save a baby. She also had a miscarriage that still haunts her.
6. What happens at the end of the play? (5 sentences) At the end of the play the widow finally lets go of her husbands soul that she's been holding on to for so long. She realizes this is what she must do to make herself happy. She frees the soul into heaven and finds herself with marigolds and I think she is finally going to be happy with the wooer. The memory of her husband will always be there but she is moving on to a new chapter in her life.
Lovely work. There will be some great opportunities to show their relationship at different stages; what were they like when they met versus at the end? I am excited.
