October 16
From Adam Luckey:
I am beat down, physically and mentally. I find myself staring into space sometimes with my mind wandering among the world that seems to be moving along at its normal space. Then I remember to go through a scene or two in my head. But I usually lose myself before the end. If I am tired, I can’t even imagine how tired the technical crew is. With limited bodies for labor, exacting technical necessities, and questions coming from all sides, it is a wonder that one of them hasn’t dropped dead yet.
So yeah, tech. Firstly, it looks fantastic. Kirby, Gail, Scott, and the entire crew are superfolks, for certain. Unfortunately, things have been moving slower than anyone had hoped or anticipated, I think. The above limitations, compounded with the fact that there are only so many hours in a day and people needing rest (even if it is just an hour or three), we have been unable to run the show as a whole on a few nights. I think we have probably had more cue to cues and bashes of scenes than rehearsal runs. It makes me a little nervous, well, a little more than a little, but it also heightens the anticipation. Silver lining, see. Now I just have to remember to pace myself, remember what I’ve done in rehearsal, and concentrate.
Gotta go and take a few pictures, reblock the soliloquies, and work the ghost scenes with myself. Oh yeah, and then run the show this evening. Hamlet, you bastard
