One Job Thou Hadst: Giovanni (Monologue)

A partner to the other "One Job Thou Hadst," this one looks at the friar who missed telling Romeo about Juliet's *pretend* death. Haunted by this line: "A scurvy youth, word was/He'd even killed a man." The voice of Friar Giovanni is excellent (although I would suggest that the anachronistic spellings are sometimes unnecessary). Regardless, Hansen's control of language and character is excellent.

Excellent! so often these pseudo-Shakespearean monologues and sequels fall flat, but not this time. Hansen does a splendid job in capturing this minor character from R+J, while implicating the foolish Friar Lawrence who fails to tell him of the importance of his mission. Who's next, the Apothecary?

A fantastic Shakespearean monologue giving voice to one of the less prominent characters and what his experience was. Excellent!
