Books and Plays

Busy

RAH — Wed, 09 May 2012 16:29:29 +0000

Working on formatting for downloads for my plays so that it is readable, and acceptable! Concentrating on most recent first, GE (Great Expectations), Willows (The Wind in the …), and MoV (The Merchant of Venice). Hope to have them ready up there in a week or so. Hope!

Trying to get my head around much digital publishing information and there is so much available that I get the feeling it’s moving under my feet. By the time I take another step I’ll be left behind.

And then there’s the writing itself – the easy bit! The new project is well underway, but have become bogged down in middle stage. Can see the ending, can’t quite feel the message in the journey.

New project

I am working on a new project at the moment and am reluctant to expand only to say that it is not a book and it is not a play!

All over

. . . for GE – hugely enjoyable, script alive and up for publishing, the whole thing was ‘up there’!

Expectations

Is at the best bit – final week of rehearsals, fine tuning, knowing character. Have been through some text rewrites but got there in the end.

Stage

The stage went up today, and I like it. Based as much as possible on Stratford – pretentious or what!

GE

Revising script (typos etc, not major), working on recordings and cues, staging up tomorrow, then into blocking. Have put this off this year to enable greater autonomy, transfer ownership etc.. Will be a tight call but am confident. Dancers – Pip’s People (corny i know but it works0 – look to be a strong card, plus high-rated individual talent running to some depth (all my humble opinion) and we should have a show!

Expectations . . .

. . . have largely been realised as we approach the end of phase one rehearsals. Phase two is intense characterisation, encouraging self-confidence (not too much – fine line), movement and heads-up script attack! We will see.

Been through a down period, now on the up.

In place: set, busker (live music), recordings, make-up, props.

Reheasals have

started for GE. The first was last Friday and went well in the format of 4 groups sharing one space, creating energy, vibrancy and working above the neighbouring groups. This works well for initial practices but later, peace will be required.

Have, today, added some more detail to the site and logged it onto twitter, so it is now a touch thicker than skin.

more to come . . .
