Character profile:
(1940's Black Hairstyles)
Hopefully for the performance day I could Have my hair like this, so I can look the part specifically.
Who is she?
- The Princess is of university and marrying age
- She has 3 best friends who are her ladies in waiting
- She seems very quick witted but also very strong`to control situations when she believes the joke has gone too far.
- She is the daughter of an ailing king who is dying.
- She has been sent to him to secure a wedding match (as suggested by Boyet saying "remember why we came here" to The Princess before Navarre entered)
STATUS
- She is the most important of the women in the play, with the highest status, she is high born woman with probably a reputation
Relationships
Boyet and The Princess
These two get on like a house on fire, they are both smart and Boyet honours his role to the Princess by getting her all the information she craves about the King and his dalliances.
- Boyet is quick witted and also sometimes sexually cheeky with the women in waiting but the boundaries are always clear.
Me and Grace, have begun to bond more over this time doing the performance to truly show a real relationship between our two characters, there's a lot of reliance on Boyet as a go between the female and male characters due to the society the play is set in.
The Princess and her girls
The relationship between The princess and the women in waiting is strong but not too strong, they know each other but there's an element of formality between them and the princess that prevents them from becoming fully involved in the princess's feelings. The only thing that contrasts this is when The princess takes her lead from Rosaline on the plot against the men when they are coming back, otherwise The Princess controls most of the situation and exchange between the women. They are bawdy and reflect the men's slight obsession with them.
