Lorraine


When i first went over the assigned scene, I really had no idea what it was i was reading. Over the weekend i finally read over act one of Goose and Tomtom. My main purpose in doing this was to better understand this Lorraine character. She seems to be the driving force of Goose and Tomtom's actions in the scene i will be performing, but not understanding who Lorraine was to these characters was something that was limiting my performance.

  Lorraine is an object of desire in the play, both for Goose and Tomtom. While their love for Lorraine can at times cause conflict between them, As in the scene where Goose is looking into Lorraine's eyes. Tomtom becomes furious and the two begin fighting. However, as in my scene, their love for Lorraine can bring them together, to act in the best interest of Lorraine.
 
 Lorraine is a very charming character. She is spunky and has a bit of an attitude. When reading her lines i imagine some like Marisa Tomey playing her. I'm not sure how much she cares for Goose and Tom-tom. I think she perhaps just enjoys the attention she gets from them, and mostly she just likes to toy with them, like when she was sticking pins in her arms. Still the love Goose and Tom-tom have for her is very real and understanding this love better will improve

  1. So, your character's desire for Lorraine really drive the action of the play and this scene. So, when you speak of her you must find a way to convey that desire/love.
