rehearsals #5.2

great strides were made by Ian and Cherry last night. the struggle and tension between the two has budded nicely. bravo!

i've given some directions taken out of Edgar Allan Poe's story The Murders in the Rur Moregue. in our play there is some time when the characters are addressing each other, but are not in direct connection with one another. the following is something from Poe that I asked the actors to take with them during these sections:

I took the pistols, scarcely knowing what I did, or believing what I heard, while Dupin went on, very much as if in a soliloquy. I have already spoken of his abstract manner at such times. His discourse was addressed to myself; but his voice, although by no means loud, had that intonation which is commonly employed in speaking to some one at a great distance. His eyes, vacant in expression, regarded only the wall.

another great opportunity has arose from this production. Bill Rattner from Lawyers for the Creative Arts has agreed to be a Guest Speaker after our show Thursday, February 15. His encite into Copyright Law and Fair Use will go well with the play and spice up this hot button issue for all attending. Be there by reserving your tickets today!
