I'm not gonna share those disgusting racist tweets, but I'm gonna state that Francesca is a gorgeous human being - both inside and out. I can't wait to see her in @JamieLloydCo 's Romeo & Juliet and fucking eat it up it like I know she can. The people that know, KNOW.

P.S.S. you have every right after an audition to come back to us and say the project/my directing style is not for you. You are auditioning ME too. This is a collaboration so I understand and respect that.

P.S. Most of the time you can tell when an actor has not processed a direction cos they're ready to do the 2nd take straight away without an inch of breathing space.

✅ DO trust the text. It is the foundation which we jump off. This is particular for storytelling monologues. It needs to conjure emotions in you the moment you read it aloud. Of course you are allowed pauses and breaths, but find the emotions on the line itself.
