The words of Mork

July 31, 2012

We had our first few performances as part of the Henley Fringe.  It went brilliantly.  The show is in a really great place right now, especially after performing to an audience.  We all seem to have relaxed into our roles and started to trust ourselves with the language and occasionally play around with certain bits.

Much Ado About Starting

July 11, 2012

We have been ploughing through scenes in rehearsals and it is really coming together. I feel like I'm beginning to get a grasp on the character but I am very aware I'm still quite a long way off. My process has been helped thoroughly though by the quality of the cast members.

Much Ado About Meeting

June 13, 2012

So we had our first meeting as an entire cast.  It was really great to see everyone together and get a feel for how we were going to work as an ensemble.  We received the cuts for the script and had a few beers just to break the ice.  I hadn't really realised how many individual speeches Benedick had, which proved quite daunting as my highlighter started running out.
