Makes things interesting for your scene partner. Martha always knew there was something strange about herself. She fell for her bestfriend...unrequited love something deemed unnatural. it makes the scene so interesting and heart wrenching because Martha is choosing to just let it all out the risks involved the highs risk is losing her best friend. What is at stake here? I'm viewing this scene as a director, actress, viewer and reader. Take your time ladies. No need to rush. It's there.

@katharynking girly I was just about to write this out till I saw your comment. Why do actors choose the easiest most obvious choice? You will be noticed when you go for it and take the plunge be more truthful...acting isn't about words said its the meaning behind them its about the subtext the risks the choices the need for something you want to happen. This is too conversational for it to make any sort of impact. I didn't feel. There are no pauses no time to even reflect what is happening.

What does Martha really want ? I think she wants to.stop beating around the bush and go upstairs with Karen, hand in hand. Notice that Hellman neglected to add a lot of direction. Most actresses think this scene is about Martha's guilt and self-loathing at the realisation she is gay. Try thinking of it from a completely different perspective, and make different choices. Fill the room, but not with shouting. Use silence, quiet intensity. Maybe even smile. Martha would be stronger then.

Play the opposite, dears. Think about positive, the hope. The love. Now that Joe is gone, Karen is free. Martha wants to hear her say she left Joe because she does have feelings for Martha. Perhaps it is a good idea to think of this differently, then it will be more effective. It is not about confession, not really. It is about Martha's strength in allowing herself to share that love with Karen. She has nothing left to lose, and she does not kill herself over lesbianism, but love.
