"The Prince's Theatre." The Prince's Theatre. Web. 11 Dec. 2015. <http://manchesterhistory.net/manchester/gone/princestheatre.html>.

This is the Prince’s theatre in Manchester where I played Ophelia in Shakespeare’s Hamlet. Ophelia is a beautiful young woman who Hamlet is in love with. Portraying this role was such a fun challenge! I had to be quite serious. But one of the things that I had the most fun with during the process of becoming Ophelia was scanning the beautiful work of Shakespeare. When you study lines for any Shakespeare play, you have to go through a process of scanning, which is counting each syllable in a line and identifying the stressed and unstressed syllables. The process takes time but once you are finished, it helps you to analyze the emotions of your character. This process of acting was new to me and I instantly fell in love with his plays.
