A long day but a good one. The morning was dedicated to the Pineapple woman and the crocodile man. We ran the show from start to finish several times with just the two leads and it was good to see that it hung together. A lot of laughing at their antics. Julia had me in stitches as she walked into the party scene with her fiance in tow, only to realise he had not entered.
Then the good news that Perkins Shipping had come on board as sponsors - providing containers for our dressing rooms, adn their transport to and from the site. This is a great help to us, and really assists us in getting a quality show to the audience. It is always hard to have to set up entire venues in unusual places,: toilets, water, electricity, security, staging, everything.
A catch up rehearsal with Bilha as the Head CWA moved into our first rehearsal where we put everything together (and only our second rehearsal where we had a full cast.) we started this run by showing the rest of the cast the work Julia and Yoris had been doing. Luckily they laughed in all the right places. We then moved to our under cover car park to fit the third act together. The first run was expectedly loose, but the second run lifted our hearts as we could see that the potential we had dreamed was possible. Now it really is up to the cast to remember their moves and grow their characters. Pack the two venues up and into our corridor ready for the next rehearsal. Happy days are ahead. 3 weeks to go
