The inspiration for INTERVIEW comes from everything from ‘French & Saunders’ through to ‘Fry & Laurie’ and encompassing the glam and musicality of ‘Fascinating Aida’! After the minimal bleakness of NINE Becky and Fenella get to cut loose with full on physicality, voices, costumes and downright silliness. The play has scenes which call for multi-role playing and an awful lot of energy!
We learnt the most important rule of comedy…Make it real! It can’t be funny to the two actors; they must play it dead straight as if the ‘interview’means everything to them! By the end of rehearsals, this style was coming through.
We also had the opportunity to get the complex sound score and
effects recorded. Our old sound genius Pete Hadden gave us access to his studio and after 3 hours of recording and splicing we now have a great soundtrack that will add atmosphere and colour to both productions.
2 weeks of rehearsals left!
