Just had our first run thru today, after tech. Man, this play is hard! You can’t lose even a second of focus, or you find yourself in a black hole. You really need to listen/focus on the relationships.
So no fun yet. The play needs to beat us up a little more.
Mouth feels better today, which is good. I need all my lip muscles to say words like “Blagadamsvej”.
Scott pleased with the run thru and let us out a bit early, while the rest of the gang works on tech.
Back at noon tomorrow for notes and another run. Focus on Act One, which is a bit unwieldy right now.
Trying to imagine how much having an audience will change the play. Our fourth cast member is almost here!
See you tomorrow,
John
