Oh, ****! No!
-Robin! Wagwan, my brudda? -Alright, how’s it going?
-How are you? Are you OK? -I’m good, I’m good.
My guy, there’s bare Feds over there, I really would steer clear if I...
You’re not talking about Feds, are you?
Shakespeare or Giggs?
-Shakespeare. -Shakespeare.
Shakespeare, ahh.
I think Shakespeare’s wack.
Shakespeare’s sort of a classic to me.
It’s culture I guess.
Yeah, but Giggs is verified on Instagram.
Do we have time for Shakespeare, or is he canceled?
Oh, he’s not canceled.
You’ve got uh...
a real vibe.
Juliet!
I love your hair. You’ve got so much to work with, visually.
Juliet!
What would you pay for that?
-What, for that? -Yeah.
I’m happy with a free show right now.
Crud!
I’m here in London’s West End
to find out why I should give a **** about acting.
“What is acting?” I hear you ask.
I have no idea.
Acting is all fake.
But look, this place is home to theaters and the musicals
and show business.
So, I’m here to meet a guy called James,
who’s going to teach me why I should give a **** about acting.
Let’s see if I’ve got what it takes to take on this business
and cash in on some of those big checks.
[Why I Should Give a **** About...]
[Acting]
So, I’ve got an audition tonight.
-Oh, good. -I’m doing something.
I’m just really excited,
and hopefully I can pick up some skills from you.
Yeah, absolutely.
But I’ve been an extra in
He told me I got a big future ahead of me...
Well, that’s good. I’m going to give you an exercise
about how to connect with emotion.
The fiend is at mine elbow and tempts me, saying to me,
“Gobo, Lancelot, Gobo, good Lancelot, or good Gobo, or...”
-Or as? -Aforesaid.
Afore, aforesaid.
Mmm, is this English?
So listen, you don’t need to show me anything.
You don’t have to say “elbow” or anything like that.
You’re just talking. You wouldn’t go to your mate, “Is that my elbow?”
You’d say, you know, he’s hanging around...
Oh, is that what he’s saying, “He’s at mine elbow?”
-Yeah, yeah, yeah. -Right, right.
The fiend is at mine elbow and tempts me, saying to me,
“Gobo, Lancelot, Gobo, good Lancelot,
or good Gobo, or good Lancelot Gobo,
use your legs, take the start, run away.”
Crud!
Man! Wasn’t expecting that actually.
That’s good.
Let’s do a bit of improv.
I’m going to be Robin Hood, and you are Little John.
So what you’re going to do is you’re going to come in
and you’re going to warn me that the sheriff’s on his way.
He’s got hundreds of people with bows and arrows,
and we’ve got to go save Maid Marion.
-So if you... -Am I talking in olden days or?
-You talk however you want, OK? -Calm. Say nothing.
Before you start, you need to have some truth in there.
So what is something that would be dangerous
that you would want to warn your best friend about, OK?
If the police were coming.
Well, OK. Perfect, OK. Why?
What’s your friend got that the police might want to...
Ah, it’s a bit of self snitching that.
-Alright, OK. -Keep it between you and me?
-Yeah, yeah, yeah. -It’s like drugs and stuff.
Oh, right. OK. So, right, fine.
-Don’t tell no one. -No, no, no.
OK, it’s fine. It won’t go any further than the room.
So give yourself a second, imagine hearing the sirens.
Oh, ****! No!
-Robin! Wagwan, my brudda? -Alright, how’s it going?
-How are you? Are you OK? -I’m good, I’m good.
My guy. There’s bare Feds over there.
I really would steer clear from that...
You’re not talking about Feds are you?
I am talking about the Feds.
-Bigger, bigger, bigger. -I am talking about the Feds!
-The Feds?! -I’ve been under obbo for a week.
-I really wouldn’t go over there. -Oh my God.
Do you see where my man used to live?
-Yeah. -Opposite.
-Opposite. -Next door on the top floor.
Blud, that girl’s there, cuz.
We have to save her, fam.
-Let’s go! -Let’s go, my guy.
Not that way, my guy.
What did I just tell you about the Feds fam? What’s wrong with you?
Oh, Lancelot, Gobo, Lancelot.
Why should I give a **** about acting?
There’s some serious checks being written.
I just met James, he was a lovely guy.
It was a short but sweet lesson, but I learnt a lot.
He told me to stay truthful
and use my own personal experiences.
Make acting all about you.
Gave me this book. I’m going to study it, I’m going to study it hard.
Tonight, I’ve got an audition,
and I’m going to see if I’ve got what it takes to become an actor.
I’m going to take on this industry and make sure I get all this money.
Secure the bag.
This vice stuff, it’s finished.
It’s over.
Oh, Lancelot!
Gobo.
Lancelot.
I must run from my master.
Crud!
Mad!
Hey, James, how are you?
To be honest with you, the nerves, man, they’re kicking in.
I don’t know, it’s just I haven’t really learnt the lines.
Cool.
Alright, ready for our next Romeo.
-Hi. -Hi, everyone.
I didn’t have time to learn my script but it is what it is
You didn’t? So you’re not? You haven’t?
Yeah, but I’m more of an improv kind of guy,
you know what I’m saying?
Yeah, but this is Shakespeare, you can’t improvise Shakespeare.
Alright, so this is the balcony scene.
-Mm-hmm,
-Act two, scene two. -This is Juliet.
So whenever you’re ready.
She speaks.
Oh, speak again bright angel,
for thou art as glorious to this night
being o’er my head.
O Romeo, Romeo,
wherefore art thou, Romeo?
Call me but love, and I’ll be new baptized.
Henceforth I never will be Romeo.
Right, can I just stop you for a sec?
You’re really shouting quite a lot.
I feel like she’d be a bit scared of you.
Oh, ****. Sorry, Juliet.
Can you just go back a little bit and maybe be a bit more amorous?
It’s about love, so you’ve got to try and feel that.
I know not how to tell thee, oh wait.
Where am I?
I know not how to tell thee who I am.
My name, dear saint, is hateful to myself
because it is an enemy to thee.
Had I written it, I would tear the word.
OK.
Thank you very much.
-What’s this? -What’s this?
It’s out of
Showing her my love.
OK. It would have been good if you had shown her that
during the actual scene.
That’s the thing. Because you chose not to learn it,
you’re not being in love the whole time.
Alhan, I think you’ve prepared a song for us.
-What are you going to sing? -This is the best part.
So this is a song about a man who can't get the attention of a girl.
-OK. -What’s it called?
It’s called
OK, cool.
OK. I think my nerves are kicking in again.
-Yes, don’t worry.
How, how, how, how, how are you?
Where, where, where, where, where are you?
Why, why, why, why, why don’t look me?
You’re laughing.
Why are you putting on a weird accent? I don’t get it.
This is the chorus.
But you’re putting on a Turkish accent,
but you don’t have a Turkish accent.
-Yeah. -Right.
I think we’ve heard enough, thank you very much.
-Good, thank you. -That was interesting, thank you.
-Thank you. -Say nothing.
-Thanks, man. Thanks for coming in. -Bye.
Juliet as well, thanks for that.
Teşekkür
You’re welcome.
Where are you from, my friend?
-Well, that was an experience. -Oh my God.
Next!
Smashed it, bruv.
**** hell.
Light work.
Let me call this James brudda and let him know what’s going on.
James.
My guy.
Can’t you tell from my voice?
Trust, I’ve got it, man, I’ve got it.
I smashed it, man.
You’re never going to make any money in theater, I’m really sorry.
Why is the theater so expensive?
Because it’s to keep yats out.
Maybe Shakespeare will come back one day.
I think he’s still pretty big.
Yeah, well, I think he’s done out here.
Say nothing, my guy. I’m going to chat to you soon.
Alright, man, ten percent.
Oh, are you my manager now?
Alright, go on, get out of here.
Where are you from, my friend?
