We've just finished our first week of full rehearsals for well. It's been intense but amazing. Because we are lucky enough to have the same performers who were with us in the research and development period earlier this year it means we already have a shared vocabulary and indeed a lot of material which we generated then. So somewhat miraculously we've already sketched out the whole show which for work of this kind is incredibly quick. I have no doubt we'll edit and remake much of it as we go but it's reassuring to know the bones are there and the narrative is clear (hopefully) and emotionally charged. Baby Noah joined us in rehearsals today, which was surprisingly easy. Working in a room full of crash mats and with very little in the way of props except our beloved (and sturdy) copper pots is pretty baby friendly it turns out. So onwards to the next week and really carving out the detail...
