March 25th Rehearsal

Good evening,
Tonight, Act 5 was blocked, thus concluding our play! After blocking Act 5, we ran the whole second part of the show. Wow, the whole show has been tentatively blocked in under one week’s time. AWESOME! After the run of the second part, Alison gave her notes, and talked briefly about government in the setting of the play. She spoke about rulers and aristocracy of Shakespeare’s time. It boggles my mind to think about what these characters would experience, historically in their world, and as Alison put it we don’t know what it was like to live under Aristocracy, but the characters in this play do. She said for the actors to watch the movie GOSFORD PARK for examples of hierarchy. Here is the trailer!
New addition to the set! We have the beginnings of a crow’s nest upstage, center. To get the feel for height, we’ve placed a ladder beside it until it is finished.
Tomorrow night is our crew view/run through of the entire play. I wish everyone a GREAT first run through of the show! Let’s breathe new life into Shakespeare’s wonderful words.
