Audition day, Program note

My piece is based on Beauty and the Beast, i took the two characters and put a twist in the story. During my piece i want to portray the story of an abusive relationship and I felt Beauty would work well as the victim and the beast would work well as the abuser, the characters are good for this as they already have very contrasting names which adds to the story. The reason i went with an abusive relationship is because it is something that means a lot to me and it happens in everyday life way too much. I hope I am able to give an emotional performance and the use of costume and props will help, i will also have a painted beaten face which should add to the effect,
