And honestly sometimes I don't know. If something is well written, it is definitely easier to learn. Believe it or not, Shakespeare is relatively easy to commit to memory for this very reason - it flows. The biggest thing I've ever had to learn was something I wrote myself. In 2017 I took my solo show "Awake" to the Edinburgh and Sydney Fringe festivals. It was 45 solid minutes of me talking. That's a lot of lines. And it was particuarly irritating when I got any lines wrong because I'd written them! If you'd like to read about my adventures, I wrote a couple of blogs about them: Awake: Part 1 - The Road to Edinburgh Awake: Part 2 - The North and the South
