Margaret’s Workout
The first piece I will begin working on for the 2010- 2011 season is the dramatic Interp, “Margaret’s workout.” It is about a middle aged women who’s husband has lost sexual interest in her as she has grown older. When he tells her of this she begins to go crazy and joins the local gym. One day while in the middle of an aerobics class she begins noticing all the younger, more attractive women in the class. She reaches her peak of insanity, pulls out her curling iron and starts smashing the mirror with it. With glass flying everywhere she causes a giant commotion, and even causes her self to bleed from gashes from the glass. From there she is brought to a hospital and has a therapist. Margaret is narrating the story from her perspective and is presenting her story in front of an “AA” type of group for mentally insane people. I am interested in doing this piece because it fits my acting style and has a few dry, sarcastic lines within it that fits my personality.
