rehearsals

by thespian @ 2008-04-04 - 17:14:14

should be interesting tonight ...

we're taking over a school hall so we can spread out a bit and try out one of the big scenes of the play.

this is the one where my ex teenage lover tells the bankrupt townpeople that she will donate a billion marks...
on one condition - my death.

it marks the end of act one, and the beginning of the end for me!

the only slight snag tonight is that i will probably be stuffing tissues up my nose and sniffing a lot.

still - who  knows - the director might rave over my interpretation of the role!

i just hope we find the teachers chairs.
last time we went, we could only dig out the little kids chairs, which meant my knees were above my hair line when i sat down.

the good news is that after last night's session, i feel much better about the character i play.
he's getting more unlikeable by the day!

You're going to spread your germs as well, Kev...hope the rest of the cast don't get it as well because they won't thank you...sorry...I know you need to rehearse but this damn bug is terrible infectious...big hugs...

thanks jen - yes, i thought about this, but i don't have much choice.
i'm not sneezing now and there's no close contact in this scene so i will give it a go, and if it gets too messy, i'll head for home!

xx

Unfortunately, it's spread by something as simple as a touch of your hand...and by simply breathing in the same space as somebody who hasn't got it...wish I could tell you it isn't, but it is...big hugs, Kev...XX

thanks, it is a great play.
it's good fun just reading it and we all think it's going to be great on stage (well, we are a bit biased).

Has he got a really gravelly voice now? You should keep the sniff and maybe add a rasping cough, like he's enjoyed 50 woodbines a day for years. Bad man!

A proper tobacconists would probably have them. Failing that, any newsagent in 1975.

yes, it does sound a good play. Will you be going on tour?

thanks - no tour, unfortunately - just a two week run.

I like the image of the kiddie's chairs - you sure that this play is going to be The Visit and not Snow White and the Seven Dwarves?
