Monologue by Jim cartwright/ Clare Road - RESEARCH SCRIPT UNIT 6

Jim cartwright was born in Farnworth, Lancashire in 1958 he was educated at Harper Green secondary school, he is an actor and a writer, Jim is a married man and has 6 children and twins, Jim cartwright is the writer of road, his first play was called Road in royal court theatre in 1986. Britain was under going austerity crisis.  His work continues production around the world has been translated into 35 languages, he also wrote little voice what was released on the 8th of January 1999 and he also did many more plays.

Road themes are trust, love, faith and doubt also paternal evil, the play road its about a young lady that has a boyfriend called Joey and he was her only hobby but then she was saying that he's out of her ideas because Clare is unsatisfied  being with him all the time. She has a car but she has lost all her aspirations because she lost her office job and she lost all her ambitions, she always had to handle a lot of difficult situations. Besides to have a destination and know where to go, Clare is quite insecure about her self because she says now I am saggy  from tip to toe, she wanted to exercise  to keep fit and keep her mind busy also her general knowledge for example her thinking skills. she  could not afford to buy new clothes so she has to wear the same clothes over and  over again, although its about her mum being depressed because they cant afford to buy food or new clothes also cant even put the heating on. Clare is a women that knows what she wants in life but she is confused on what to do now, because she lost her job and her family is poor and cant even afford to eat a lot and she is really insecure about her body, so that is who Clare is as a young lady. 


The thing i did to practice my monologue  was write post it notes and highlight it with two different colours and stick them on my mirror to memorise  the lines, also i learnt each line one by one and repeated it which helped a lot for me to slowly learn most of the lines and words of the top of my head. The clothes i am going to wear when i record  myself  for the monologue are quite modern  and really casual  for example a turtle  neck top  and tight jeans The props i could use are  a magazine, a cup of tea, and a  blanket although a packet of tissues.

Her class mates thinks she is utterly crazy, mint her teacher puts her in counselling, and she makes one friend Frank a boy that was home educated and is much of an oddity to Eleanor. He tries to get to the bottom of the vampire delusion, franks parents believe that Eleanor is anorexic that's why they don't like her, Eleanor she started to to write about her life story as a play, Eleanor describes Claire's background as a prostitute in the 19th century in London and her own as a child in an orphanage. The traits of  modern day vampires are pretty well established,  also they drink human blood, also they cant...

unit 5 6 & 7

UNIT 5:    memory   I was very excited when my mum and dad said  i was about to start nursery,  i was three years old also there was a lot of children my age which i was happy to be able to play with children my age, but i was also shy. In the play garden they had slides, sand pits, prams, and baby dolls which i loved because i always used to like getting messy in the sand pit and i liked playing with the baby dolls. Inside we did paintings and drawings and we made puzzles and put them together, we also ate some lunch together and i sat with my friends and we was talking and eating snacks like crisps, fruit and fish and chips for lunch.
