The last rehearsal before show week
In all honesty this rehearsal was not great at all. Not everyone knew their lines and most lines had to be prompted which made it really hard and extremely tedious to do a run when hardly anyone knew their lines. There were a few people that knew their lines but a few odd ones were forgotten but there were a few people who didn't know large chunks on dialogue. I can admit that there was one small speech of my lines that i didn't know i was really struggling to get it into my head but other than that I knew all of my lines. I shared this rehearsal with Niamh being Clytemnestra as we are double cast which made it hard to get into the swing of the character and into the flow of they play but when people didn't know lines anyways it made it even harder to do a run where people had to be promoted a lot. I din't feel that in this rehearsal I could really get into the true essence of my character and really let it go and get on with it as I had no flow and anything to feed off so it was a very difficult session. But all the time that I wasn't on stage I was trying my hardest writing out my lines and trying my hardest to get the last small speech in my head. Everyone was very agitated by the end of the extremely long winded run so everyone's mood was very low and not very positive. From this lesson I knew exactly what I needed to do which was to learn the last little bit and that was the same for everyone.
I know that when things start to flow better and people are absolutely certain with their lines that will help lift the play and give everyone a boost and for myself help me get into the flow of my character because Clytemnestra is quite a challenging roll to get into. What I need to do is know that last section of dialogue and hopefully our next run will be more successful.
