DRAMA IN DRAMA

I feel, and it is fact, that we are moving slowly in our blocking and progression of the play. This is partly as some people do not know their lines, but it is also because Will has a vision for the play, and how he wants it to be acted, and so he must spend time perfecting the scenes.

I understand it must be difficult for Will, as he is the only director over approximately 20 actors, and he cannot cater and supervise everyone and run scenes as well. But something needs to be done, or work given to us as I do not come in until page 91, and so for the past couple of weeks, and I imagine a few more weeks to come, I shall sit in the rehearsal room, and stare longingly out the window, waiting for freedom or my scene. Freedom may come first.

I do not mean to offend, and I do not believe there is much to be done about this except for me to complete work, and write articles for my blog, which I have been doing. Will says we should send our energy to the people on stage and make valuable comments, which I also do. Though I must admit there are only so many times I can watch the same scene.

Last week emotions were high, and rehearsals were cut short. I think this had to happen eventually as it cleared the air, and now I feel as it the elephant in the room has gone, and everyone is in it together. For the benefit of the play, and to contend as the best show of Common Ground 2016.
