After a number of days we reach the momentous occasion when we 'stand up'. No more readings of the play, no more discussion, no more delay, it is time to put the play on its feet.

This week we went back to Twelfth Night. We haven't done a run of the play in three weeks. Luckily, the time away from the play didn't feel like a hindrance; it allowed the play to simmer in our minds, and for the ideas to mature.
