It's been an amazing day....lovely gentle atmosphere in rehearsals. Embarked on a journey to understand this play...keep wondering what the author meant, then remembering it's me and I'm the one who's supposed to know!
We got right through Act one and half way through Act two, on it's feet....actors really going for it. Some really strong and moving moments already. The story telling is the thing and it's the sort of play where you've got to get it right in action rather than on paper. I think tomorrow it's going to be about getting to the heart of the story and in a way to the simplicity of it. A young woman is being assessed in a mental hospital, while she is waiting for the doctors, she meets spirits from the past of the "asylum" who through the action of the play tell their stories and teach her things.....I'm excited about tomorrow, but ready to forget about it all for a few hours first...
I'll take some photos in rehearsal tomorrow....forgot today, what with it being day 1 and all.
