Imogen's acting journey

  21/10/24 - Globe evaluation This week was our performance week! We started off on Monday in the Globe, taking tours round the venue to get more comfortable in the space we were going to be working in. We ran through lines to make sure we knew them 100%, also making it easier for us to perform and not have to think about what we needed to say next.

To research this role, I googled around to see how other people viewed him, where he’s described as: curious (everything is new to him), rebellious, mischievous, excitable, childish, just trying to discover what's right and wrong. I also watched both the cartoon and Disney live action film,...
