Another day, another exciting rehearsal... Today, John and Brian had the good fortune of running through the entire play in the rehearsal room. For those of you who do not know the Crescent Theatre, this room roughly corresponds in terms of its shape to the actual performance space. It was also the first time Brian had a chance to enter to Rob Howard's music, and Jefferson was there to block this important start to the play. Without giving too much away... it looked superb!
Consequently, the pace and tension of the first scene was amazing. John had fun teasing out the comic potential afforded by his dialogue, while Brian's on-the-edge anger helped keep the scene emotionally taut; compared with this, the energy of the second scene seemed slightly to wane, but with a week of dress rehearsals ahead of us - and when the scene-change is smoothed out, this won't be a problem. All the boys need now is an audience... and in the short term, a well deserved rest!
