We blocked the rape/abduction scene in rehearsals today. It was so amusing, because we would really get into the scene in 15-second intervals, choreographing the next stages of the attack, then stop, and burst out laughing to break the tension. The Muleteer actors are all very gentle, friendly, fun guys, and they’re absolutely terrified that they’ll accidentally hurt me. Too funny. We also did the Dubbing, complete with Monty Python joke cast commentary, “The Impossible Dream”, the Barber song, et all. How much do I love Jesuit theatre? Words fail me. Gravy, this show is going to be fun.
If any of you happen to be in Dallas the first week of May, consider yourselves invited.
