'I'm here... It's where I am'

Brian, John and I had a cracking rehearsal last night after launching a successful raid on the costume department. I won't tell you what the boys will be wearing... but in just one visit I really felt it gave a positive boost to their characters. Brian and John are now beginning to get to grips with some of the nuances of Milton and Jimmy, so I decided we needed to go back in time... back 35 years in order to test their characters with an improvisation - it did more than I could have hoped, and I think both actors returned to the text with a fresh appreciation of their characters subtleties. We have a few challenging weeks ahead of us, but I think we crossed an important bridge last night!
