We had our first run through on Sunday, minus one actor, although our director stood in admirably. Not difficult for him really as I suspect he recites the lines in his sleep he knows the play so well!
Anyway, on Sunday, Robert, the Arts Manager and Graeme who was taking rehearsal shots for us were present. The first time we have had an audience - and the first Act had moments that were good and moments that need polishing shall we say! However, the second Act , when Robert and Graeme were no longer with us, has one of the most electrifying scenes I think I have ever been priviledged to see close up. I tried to stay in character but kept slipping into audience mode, and I found it hard not to cry.
If you are at all intrigued about this play, trust me, that scene in the second Act will be worth the price of the ticket alone.
