🎭 If you be she, I do entreat your patience to hear me speak the message I am sent on.
— Julia, Two Gentlemen of Verona 4-4
[ACTING TIPS]
Julia, disguised as a boy Sebastian, is talking to Silvia. This is the first time to meet her.
Very similar to Viola’s first meeting Olivia. Julia as a boy, and needs to give a love-message from the one she is in love with.
I would see this scene as Julia’s strong objective conquers her obstacles: obstacle 1 is her fear of being discovered her disguise by this lady, and obstacle 2 is she doesn’t want to deliver the love message to her rival.
If Julia’s curiosity is strong enough, she would approach Silvia as close as possible.
