Chris directing some physical blocking, scripts thrown to the ground.
Retard Liquid. It should be on everyones list. An actors go to. Especially when those director types ask you to do a scene you've only just read through off book. Thats right, scripts down and lets do some work. There was a thrilling energy in the room as the actors concentrated on trying to remember the lines they have never had the opportunity to learn. Stage manager Stacey feed the lines to them as they tried to keep some sort of flow going, even though at times needing to call prompt line to line. Perhaps it could be a way to learn lines in the future, having the lines feed to you via an ear piece. (Chris vision for the future) Will see what happens but for now it seems the actors would prefer a bit of a heads up on what they need to know off book because they found the experience a bit of a brain fuck and frustrating, pleading to Chris at one stage "We can't do it, please don't make us do it"
