We've set the entire play!!


OK, OK, we've still got the prologue to do, and the start of Act 4, but I'm leaving those for a while, and will slip them in sometime in the last few weeks, so we've done it (almost!).

Some bits that need attention over the next few weeks -

- First third of Act 3
- Betty Parris' scream bit in Act 1
- John Proctor & Abigail bit in Act 1
- Putnams & Parris bit it Act 1
- Act 2 Hale & Proctors
- Act 4 scene between John and Elizabeth
- All the girls bits


If any of the cast are reading this (actually if anyone at all is reading this!) and you want to rehearse any thing not mentioned here, let me know and I'll put it on the list!

Acting-wise the cast are doing very well indeed. I need to have sessions with some of the cast to pull them back a little bit. Some can tend towards caricature, and need to be guided back to a more naturalistic style. Also, some accents to sort out, but all in all, nothing too bad, and alot that is very good - even at this stage!

Generally we're still where we want to be - which is good!

Best news - We've got this Sunday off!!! HOORAY!! A well needed rest for all.

Prompt is attending rehearsals soon, so it's books down!

Hello Paul, it's your mate Andrea here. Just to let you know that I'm enjoying the site and piccies! As a previous Elizabeth, Abigail and Susanna Walcott I'm obviously a big fan of the play. Loads of luck and looking forward to seeing you in September. x
