Hey, I posted this on the student board, but it's only gotten like 14 views and no responses in a couple of hours so I'm posting it here, I hope that's ok.
I'm thinking about doing a monologue from A Raisin In The Sun. Beneatha has a pretty large chunk of speech herself that I was going to use, but it's interrupted in a few places by Asagai, and I know that it's possible to just eliminate those lines....however, his lines aren't just "yes, go on.." sort of lines- she actually responds to them. Here's an example:
Beneatha: It used to matter. I used to care. I mean about people and how their bodies hurt...
Asagai: And you've stopped caring?
Beneatha: Yes- I think so.
Asagai: Why?
Beneatha: Because it doesn't seem deep enough, close enough to the truth.
Asasai's second line is an easy one to work around, but what about the first one? Should I change my line to incorporate the fact that I've stopped caring, or is that totally out of the question?
