Rehearsals for Twelfth Night have got off to a flying start and I really enjoyed my second rehearsal last night. There are some superb characters and performances already, so it’s promising to be quite a show. Twelfth Night is one of the smallest casts I’ve been involved in for a while, so I feel very privileged and proud that I’ve made it onto the team.
Andrew is shaping up nicely. I find it intriguing that what I work on at home never seems quite right and yet at rehearsal it’s coming together wonderfully. I imagine in the company of my fellow actors and under the watchful eye of our director Caz, the often raucous ambience that’s generated must act as a kind of creative gel, filling in the gaps and smoothing over the rough edges of the character. Ok maybe a bit far with analogy there, but I’m sure you take the point; the positive, jovial atmosphere is definitely assisting the creative process.
I’m very pleased that this early in rehearsals Sir Andrew is already bedding in because it bodes well for what I might achieve by the time we finally get to perform.
