I'm Erika, 17 years old, and beside theatre, I love singing, writing, reading, drawing, play the piano and all sorts of stuff. The biggest part of who I am is, to me, to create things. My acting, singing, writing and drawings isn't something I just create, but something that describes who I am. Ugh that sounded cliché! Anyway, when I don't create things I eat sorbet and watch Detective Conan.

Me, playing a role based on
Ophelia in another play! |
When I first was asked to join Hamlet, I said
no! It all sounded fun and so, but English has never really been my thing. I love the language but can not for my life pronounce anything! I also had never ever read Hamlet and didn't know the story. But mostly, I was scared to do or say something wrong in front of some of my best friends. But why would you be scared of that, when they are all there to help you? Eventually, I gave in and said that I could be a part of it if I could get a really small role that didn't say much. That's how I became Bernardo!
How I then chose to be Osric (I don't understand a word of what he's saying) was because I fell in love with Laurence Olivier's version of him. And for some reason we thought it would be fun if Osric was Irish, so now I'm trying to write all his lines in some sort of pronunciation-help-in-Irish. Do you think I know Irish? No! Do you think that will stop me?
Of course not!!! I will make Irish Osric a thing!
But now I have bored you enough with this text long! So long, and see you ~
