Punk Rock is a play by the British playwright Simon Stephens which premiered at the Royal Exchange in 2009 and transferred to the Lyric Hammersmith directed by Sarah Frankcom. The play concerns a group of private school sixth formers during their A Level mocks exams. I was given the character Lily Cahill. Within the original performance of Punk Rock Lily is played by: Jessica Raine.
Google interpretation of Lily:
Lily Cahill: to play 17, tries to appear quite sophisticated beyond her years, tries to be enigmatic and mysterious. She is in fact struggling for that image, and does not have the confidence she projects. Sexy in her mysteriousness, seemingly casual sexually but really trying to discover the limits of her new-found allure. Smart and quick to understand and reply…new to the school but sassy and unafraid.
My interpretation of Lily:
I believe Lily has 2 sides to her personality. I think part of her is timid and caring, this is clear in the first few scenes when we are first introduced to the characters. But as Lily meets Nicholas we see a more sensual side of Lily. I think Lily is a confident character, and I also think she is confident within herself.
I think my opinion on Lily may change in time, the more I develop my character.
