LAMDA ACTING PROGRAMME 2020 GRADE SIX – CONTEMPORARY PIECE 1 (GIRLS) Chatroom by Enda Walsh LAURA: Jim, this is Laura. I'vespoken with Jim before. We know each other. Why exa ctly are you harassing him lik e that? I know he's not feeling well. He hasn't beenfeeling good about himself. He's lon ely. He feels detached. Why is it you're doing this? You're talking to him like there are no options. You're making him b e lieve that there's nothing else. That suicide is some romantic gesture. Like one fifteen-year-old’s death will be held up by other fifteen-year-olds and celebrated for something. Will make a big statement for a ll those "trapped" average teenagers! If you think of yourself as some blob who's moulded into this empty ch ild and sent on aset pattern through life ... If you think that - it will happen . Every single mome nt in life there's possibilities. The statement being made is yours. But what are you saying, William? That you've got power? That you re smart enough to take advantage of someo ne vulnerable and talk them into the corner where they might kill themselves? And this is some joke to you two, right? Some big comedy. Beca use you can't see him it's easier. It ' s easier when you don't have to see a dead boy and just imagine it like you read it in a book or something. It ' s eas ier than murder, isn't it William, 'cause Jim's faceless to you - but it's Just like murd e r. In these rooms words are power and you have all the right words. This isn't some competition about who 's the most sad here! And if you need to know, I have tried to kill myself! I did slit my wrists. It did come from a very real place! But I'm happy I'ma live. And some days are better than others and the future sca res me, but I'm ready for the strugg le! And I lik e the strugg le! I like it a lot more than being dead and st uck in the ground and watching over my family and friends who I've torn apart. Stay alive and they canh e lp me! Ther e's always a life! Jim, I'm s till here to ta lk to
