Rehearsal process

Our first run through with Jill was a disaster, there were some of us who had not yet learnt all of their lines and not even brought in their costume, and I think when you're not dressed as your character or when you don't know what they say it affects how you act.

In this rehearsal, there were props forgotten, many lines and it fell apart. We sat with Jill and she spoke to us and explained everything through and through about how it matters to learn your lines and make the effort to go out and buy costumes etc. And I don't think we shouldn't have been given that talk as its our responsibility to get our own props and costume and we all should have known that.

Although the next day when we did another run through it was a lot better. There was still a few minor mishaps but it was a lot lot better than the previous rehearsal we had. We sat and made notes to make sure we put all props in the right place, all our costumes were in and in the right place.

We then had a tech run, which should normally last around 3 hours, and only took us an hour and a half and was the best run through we have done yet, but was then followed by a dress run which went even better! We were thrilled as there were no visible mistakes made and it went really well.
