Rehearsals Day Two and Three - More Blocking
Day Two
The day was more or less the same as yesterday in terms of blocking. We started at 10am continuing blocking through the rest of Act One and most of Act Two while Charlotte and I jotted down our props list. Ron gave Charlotte and I more to do with our Acting ASM roles adding lines for us to say and more stage directions. We had a tea break at 11:45 then resumed work at 12:00. That was then followed by a lunch break at 1pm resuming back at 2pm, continuing to block through the first three scenes of Act Two. Line changes and cuts aren't unheard of depending on what the director wants for their production and a few of those have been made already, not suggesting anything bad about it, it's just something that is done in productions. It was pointed out that the wheelchairs we are using could possibly obstruct the view of some audience members in the front rows of the auditorium, hopefully this is a problem we can easily find a solution for. We wrapped up the rehearsal at 5pm and a few of us headed straight to the pub for a drink or two, actors life, hard life!
Day Three
We began today discussing the World Cup and when Iceland beat England in the Euros back in 2016, Ron got muddled up thinking that the England/Iceland game was a World Cup match instead of a Euros match. After that discussion we continued rehearsals, working through Act Two Scene Four's blocking before finishing for lunch. After Lunch we began working through the play again from the beginning, starting with the acting parts that Charlotte and I begin the play with. Most of the afternoon I helped Claire, Harriet and Lee with their lines when there wasn't much to do in the rehearsal room. Charlotte was needed for her acting role at that time in the rehearsal room. We wrapped up the day at 5pm again, this time no trip to the pub, maybe another time!
