Rehearsals are well under way for September’s season launching production of Noel Coward’s The Vortex (http://www.crescent-theatre.co.uk/Y2009/vortex.html).
For the last couple of rehearsals the cast has been getting to grips with fox trots, quick steps, tangos and even the odd Charlston step as they learn to move themselves about the stage in a truly authentic 1924 fashion. Under the expert eye of Michael Barry, the cast has learnt to swish and swoosh to some wonderful period music.
Today (Sunday, 26 July) we looked at the opening of Act II which Mr Coward describes as: “…exceedingly difficult to produce, but absolutely indispensable.” Well, the good news is that by the end of the rehearsal Michael’s excellent tutelage and the cast’s hard work came together to make it all appear almost effortless.
