Running around like a madman...
...which seems to be what most of us do in this play. I love the outrageousness of the script and the single mindedness and sheer chutzpah of the characters.
We did a lot of blocking on Wednesday with a lot of people on stage at once. At occasions when it said "they fight", Alison froze everyone in place and I frantically scribbled down where they were and who was fighting who. We then moved to the positions at the end of the fight and I mapped out the characters again. All I have to do now is work out what happens in between. There were helpful comments later in the pub about the use of pineapples.
I echo Ben's comments about Andy and Nigel's upstaging. I'll have to make sure we stand in front of them during the fight scenes...
Finally, funniest comment so far goes to Amber who missed most of a conversation about the problem with insects in summer in Scotland and asked who had been "bitten by midgets".
