Rehearsal 3 –
Tuesday 13th October
The company
delivered presentations on three periods of time that then cover the whole time
span of the play.
Once these
presentations had finished the company compiled a timeline that details the
significant events in history and politics as well as movements in art, culture
and society. Alongside this the company added information from the play dates
and significant events and moments in the lives of the characters in the play.
This will continue
to be added to as rehearsals continue and more research takes place. A detailed
and considered understanding of the historical context of the (particularly a
play like this which moves fluidly back and forth in time) will be an essential
aspect of the actors work.
Once this work was
completed the ‘Walking read-through’ through of parts 2 and 3 of the play was
completed.
