But, of course, we indulged in a few silly games first! Alex had us all hugging, shaking hands and trying not to laugh, while Lotty introduced us to ‘Whop!’ which ended in a chorus of ‘Killer Shark’ (lyrics can be provided on request). The cast have been left wondering if this crazy pair are going to make them sing any more songs...
The read -through was fun and interesting for all of us; especially for writers Lynsey and Laura. Hearing their words (and the words of Shakespeare) read aloud for the first time was daunting, but all of the actors brilliantly brought the script to life and our two lady writers were really pleased with the result (they may have even cracked a smile). The play has now taken its first Bambi steps out into the world, and we can’t wait to reach more steady ground with each rehearsal that will follow.
Our performance date (the 3rd of July, in case you were wondering) is going to coincide with the Stratford River Festival . We’re looking forward to being a part of a big crowd of happy people enjoying the sunshine, as long as we don’t get drowned out by Morris dancers!
Next weekend we’re working a busy Sunday (The RSC Open Day), and how will we reward our tired selves? With more rehearsals, of course! The clock has started to tick gently in the background and we’re all buzzing with ideas and enthusiasm.
We shall leave you for now, but please drop us a comment here, and remember to check out our Facebook page for more pictures and updates.
