WE HAVE A SCRIPT! At 7.30pm the cast were handed warm, messy scripts, and the first read-through began. The casting had mysteriously taken place in the night - presumably to save tears - but everyone was happy with the overall result! The read-through was brilliant; the new material is incredibly funny in a heartbreaking way, and it really makes us question the subjective nature of lunacy. Afterwards, the writers were whisked off to do something writerly amd the actors did some intense characterisation work. We debated whether the retreat would be fully private or partly NHS funded, and discussed how this would make an impact on characterisation. To end the session in line with the play, we played a weird game about patterns!
After the rehearsal we went to see a Q and A session with the cast of What Fatima Did, a play written by Heat&Light member Atiha Sen Gupta, which Kelly has been directing in the main auditorium. The play received a 5-star review from the Sunday Telegraph and Kelly has bought herself some very nice boots to celebrate. Well done!
