Bel Imperia

Taking place in Act IV Scene I, this speech sees Bel-Imperia (a young, intelligent and strong-willed noblewoman in the Spanish court) chastising Hieronimo, a knight, for grieving for his son but not taking action to revenge his death. Bel reminds him that although she is a stranger to him, she loved his son and wants to see his murderers punished. She swears that she’ll take revenge even if Hieronimo doesn’t. Georgia Hewkin stars in our second Monday Monologue, part of our company launch season, which showcases new work from our exciting company writers as well as the modernisation of classical speeches too. The monologues are released weekly on Mondays and will be available to watch online, completely free.
