we spent a good few hours at The Drill Hall today, a wonderful Bloomsbury location with lovely light and airy rehearsal rooms. Check it out here: http://www.drillhall.co.uk/
The cast are pretty much off-book now with everyone working hard to memorise their monologues. i'm glad i'm not an actor! i'm very impressed with anyone who can memorise three pages of straight dialogue.
everyone is getting closer and closer to delivering really memorable performances. it's such fun to be part of this. all the performers involved have connected with their pieces in their own special way and there are some real moments of magic.
now all we have to do is strike the perfect balance in the running order. each of the pieces has its own tensions and strengths, it's going to be a rollercoaster ride for the audience, we're everything from provocative to hilarious.
but i have to say, today i'm feeling rather confident that Saturday 29th will be a wonderful experience for all concerned.
now all we have to do is post the flyers, sell the tickets, learn the words, print the programmes, do a technical run through, and get up to full speed with only two remaining rehearsals...
yup - all's well!
