Day 284 - blue bead drops


These were a birthday present from my aunt. Today I wore them to a rehearsal for The Complete Works of William Shakespeare (abridged), which I will be performing in next year. Today was our first rehearsal with our prod sec who will also be helping us create our costumes (since she did such a fantastic job with the costumes for A Midsummer Night's Dream earlier this year).

We were running through the script scene by scene breaking down exactly what costumes and props are required when. Since we have blocked out the show already and have run it a few times by this point, we are obviously very familiar with the content. Our prod sec has not yet seen the show though, so occasionally we would say something that was perfectly logical in the context of the show and only realise how weird the actual words were when Santie fell on the floor laughing.

Some highlights:

  • We don't need a kazoo because I have two recorders
  • Oh, and we need a bowl for the rapist's blood
  • Swords could be awkward when I'm holding him
  • She'll need a helmet for Fellatio
Intrigued? Mark your calendars.
