Ninth Entry.


This is the end. The end of week two. It was a blessing rehearsing at the Malthouse Tower theatre this week where the piece will be performed. The seating bank was set up how it will be and it really helped the creatives and everyone get a solid feel for what the space is like. Sometimes a floor plan can be misleading. The seating has been set up to fit in as many people as possible and considering it's selling like hot cakes that was a wise move.
We ended the week with a full run. And although Dylan had injured his ankle the night before and was hobbling around like a cripple, adrenalin kicked in as did necessity and he carried on. It turned out that the hobbling suited the character of Sebastian really well and he might keep it even when his ankle heels. So good things do come out of the bad. A bit of method acting, gotta love it. A story was told about a actor who was in the Crucible and when his colleague didn't tie him up probably in the play, he got up and run away to his car and drove home.
Jethro recorded the run so he could work on where sound should fit in and Chris filmed the piece to see how it's shaping up. It'll be quite a different show pending on where your seated as sometimes you'll get more profile than front on or the back of someone not the front. The actors are starting to become their characters, there's a lot of heckling and teasing in the room.
Sarah "It's like we have a retard in the room."
"All the quotes from me are me ragging out on Dylan" Well with Declans writing being played out to you every day it encourages that kind of behaviour. I know that after a day in the rehearsal room I'm more inclined to tell someone to "suck a bag of dicks" if their annoying me than I usually would.
