The road to performance passed another milestone last night with the first "reading" of the play by colleagues from Theatre Wakefield. Their feedback was politely frank. ...
"I don't get it."
"How many stories are there here?"
"Who are Marnie and Brandy and Lucy and Orlanda and Yvette and ...?"
"I think you have Alzheimer's"
And we didn't stop there. To enable a second runthrough we cut and pasted to create a shorter narrative that hit the highlites.
Three hours later I left on a high - feeling I have good direction for a big re-write, and five enthusiastic and talented actors.
The Wakefield Players rock!
