Bentwater Roads: Another Monday

There's a well used saying in the theatre and probably unbeknownst to me, in many other professions. Monday is when people have dropped the momentum of a project over the weekend and seem to be four steps behind where they left off last Friday. I'm glad to say that it was nowhere to be seen this Monday and we threw ourselves into another run of the final quarter, polished up some scenes that weren't hitting the mark and of then all took a deep breath - some larger than others, as I struggled to come to terms with blowing the newly acquired Ram's Horn for the massive pagan ceremonies - then dived into running the entire final HALF of the play. Besides a lot of red faced flatulent sounding horn blowing on my behalf, we glided through it. Ivan seemed very pleased and notes were given out in a small dose with lots of positive feedback. The overall shape and rhythm and pace of the piece is starting to become evident and once again I finish the days rehearsals with a warm glow in my artistic belly.
