Rehearsal Diary - Week 6
By Audrey Sheffield
At the end of the fifth week, concerns were raised about the running time of the play. The first half was one hour and twenty five minutes and the second, one hour and twenty minutes. Rupert and Lucy both felt that this was too long. On Monday morning, a ‘new script’ arrived. Lucy had made some small cuts throughout the play. A few scenes in the first half had also been re-ordered in an attempt to solve some issues with the rhythm and flow of Act One. Everyone got their heads down and spent a fairly intense and industrious few days implementing these changes. By Thursday morning, the running time had been cut down by nearly half an hour. Everyone’s hard work had really paid off!
