As the play revolves around clowns and clowning a lot of the rehearsal was spent on the timing and the delivery of certain lines and physical business. We soon realised that we would have to bring make up into rehearsal very soon as a lot of the facial expressions would have to come 'through' the clown make up/mask.Plenty to work on but also plenty of great work achieved. Next rehearsal we will be working on both plays so a lot of concentration needed from me and energy and focus from the actors!
Next week also sees us returning to 'The Final Act of Henry Gladstone' for the Wallingford Drama Festival, performing next Friday (15th June). So, an extra blog will appear to tell you how we got on!
