  • She sounds like a whiny teenager. She needs to understand what she's saying. She just sounds angry the whole time. Helena is heartbroken.... not just angry.

  • the end is played incorrectly. "herein mean i to enrich my pain, to have his sight thither and back again." means that she plans to mend her broken heart by winning demetrius back again. so it should end on a postive, hopeful note. too whiney in general.

  • The thing is, is that different people have different visions of how they see the story. Aslong as their director is fine with the way they have interpretated the script then everythings is as it should be.

    Trust me, ive been in plays where people have taken whats meant to be a comedic play into something rather depressing and synical.

    You were GREAT, Well done :D

  • @Hannahdurwardxx wow way to reiterate exactly what the two top comments said. bravo!

  • Oh! Lordie, she looks just as I imagined Helena to look! Her acting was a little rough around the edges but still very nicely done when looked at as an all-around preformance! Keep up the great work, girl!

  • not enough hand motions

  • She sounds to whiny. I would of like to of seen her more excited in the end. Its as if she doesn't know what she's talking about. Espically the ending.
