Here's John with the Bard himself.
John's scene was from Love's Labours Lost in which he played Berowne's. Naturally we thought he was pretty good. It is his nature to be the first to memorize his lines. This allows him to work on his blocking and intonation.
This time Bobbie worked particularly on the meaning of the monologue. At times Shakespeare, was quite ribald and this scene is no exception. The good news is that it was in reference only.
Shakespeare must have loved mythology because in this, as well as many other scenes, he uses mythological creatures as metaphors. Blessed with a great memory, John recalled that Argus was the creature with a thousand eyes. But Berowne would conquer his love despite Argus' gaze.
