Monologue

 I chose Lady Macbeth monologue it’s when Duncan is entering the castle but he doesn’t know that Macbeth is going to kill him and Macbeth is wanting help from the spirits that she’s calling to help her and to help Macbeth kill Duncan and I chose thins because I wanted to take a challenge and explore a character a tiny bit older than me so lady Macbeth would be perfect. I also liked the language Shakespeare uses for lady Macbeth and I can kind of relate to what she’s doing

Steven Berkoff Research



Steven Berkoff, is an English character actor, author, playwright and theatre director. As an actor, he is best known for his performances in villainous roles, such as Lt. Col Podovsky in Rambo: First Blood Part II, General Orlov in the James Bond film Octopussy, Victor Maitland in Beverly Hills Cop and Adolf Hitler in the TV mini-series War and Remembrance.


Berkoff started his theatre training in the Repertory Company at Her Majesty's Theatre in Barrow-in-Furness, for approximately two months, in June and July 1962.
As well as an actor, Berkoff is a noted playwright and theatre director, with a unique style of writing and performance. His earliest plays are adaptations of works by Franz Kafka: The Metamorphosis (1969); In the Penal Colony (1969) and The Trial (1971). In the 1970s and 1980s, he wrote a series of verse plays including East (1975), Greek (1980) and Decadence (1981), followed by West (1983), Sink the Belgrano! (1986), Massage (1997) and The Secret Love Life of Ophelia (2001). Berkoff described Sink the Belgrano! as "even by my modest standards ... one of the best things I have done"
