Christopher talking about Siobhan

Siobhan is my English teacher at my school. She is my favourite teacher because she listens to me when I talk to her. And she doesn't tell anybody what we talk about. And she understands me like father does. And I can go to her when I can't go to father. But I can't live with her as she is not a member of my family. I think she will always try to help me and listen to me but that is silly because I am going to get an A* in A level maths and then I will get an A* in Further maths. And in two years I will take A level Physics and get an A* and then I will go away to university in another town. And live in a flat with a garden and will get First Class Honers Degree and Siobhan can't come with me because she lives in Swindon and works in my school. I like Siobhan because I can trust her and she doesn't lie to me.

Romeo Talking about Friar Lawrence

Ignorant Friar, how can he talk about banishment when to be away from my love would kill me. It's killing me now not being with her. He doesn't understand, how can he, he is old and foolish. He doesn't understand love, he's never felt it, yet he has the audacity to stand there and profess that I was let off easy, that I should be grateful that I'm being punished for avenging the murder of my best friend. He thinks I should worship the ground that dear old Prince Escalus stands for allowing me to live, out of the kindness of his heart I can live a life deprived of my dear Juliet, a life of loneliness and heartache. Thank you Prince Escalus, can't wait. Friar called me a girl for the way I acted after being banished, he said I was a shameful woman and told me I should go see Juliet one last time before I leave. He still doesn't understand, the old fool, I would love to see Juliet, it's killing me to not see her, but seeing her and knowing it will be the last time I will ever see her is just too much to bare.

Christopher talking about his father

Father is the person who took care of me after mother died, though she didn't die, she left to live with Mr Shears as they we doing sex, so Father lied to me but I didn't know that at the time. He turned all my yellow food red as I don't like yellow but like red. I later found out he killed Wellington, Mrs Shears dog, because they were doing sex and he wanted to get closer to her but she decided to not to and father got mad and wanted to hurt her. This is when I found out all the lies Father told me so I couldn't live with him as he killed Wellington so he could kill me. After finding Mother, Father came to the house and tried to get close to me so I pointed my Swiss Army Knife at him so he couldn't kill me. Then Mother and I went back to Swindon and I had to stay at fathers from 3:49 to 5:30 because Mother said I'm not allowed to stay on my own but he doesn't talk to me he just sits out side my door, crying sometimes. He started a project with me to spend time together and we planted a vegetable patch together.

Initial ideas on how to perform the monologue:

Romeo Talking about Juliet

I've just seen the most beautiful girl. Her skin is the purest of whites with no blemish to hinder it. She has long flowing hair, as golden as the sun, that just highlights her bright blue eyes. Every time I think about those eyes, I get lost in them. Her lips were just so full and red, I could spend hours kissing them. She was wearing the most beautiful white dress that just flowed down her body. I think about her face and I know that as long as we are together nothing can go wrong. There is just one problem with me being with her, She is a Capulet, the daughter of my families enemy. Fate is a cold-hearted bitch, my family wont understand, hell Mercutio wont understand, they wont allow me to see her again let alone spend my life with her. But this burning desire within me is desperate to see her. I wont tell anyone but I will sneak into her home and meet her, she'll be so happy to see me.

Research into Curious Incident

Autism-Wikipedia-Simple English

Autism is a life-changing disorder characterized by a profound withdrawal from contact with people, repetitive behavior, and fear of change in the environment. The emotional disorder affects the brain's ability to receive and process information. People who have autism find it difficult to act in a way that other people think is "normal". They find it difficult to talk to other people, to look at other people and often do not like being touched by other people. A person who has autism seems to be turned inwards. They may talk only to themselves, rock themselves backwards and forwards, and laugh at their own thoughts. They do not like any type of change and may find it very difficult to learn a new behavior like using a toilet or going to school.

Before You Punch Me

The reason why I chose against performing "Before you punch me" is because I felt that playing Christopher from Curious Incident would show deeper characterization and would utilize the fact that I already performed Christopher and understand the character. Also the character Turk in Demons would use my strengths in a nasty and panicked character whereas "Before you punch me" would use my weakness of a romantic character.
