Read Through

We had a first read-through of Jane Eyre tonight. That's where the cast sits around a table and just reads through the script. This was really three long tables arranged in a U shape, because the cast is big.

The script is written to allow for doubling, so you can do a lot of the thing where one actor plays 3 or 4 roles. But in this production we won't be doing very much of that.

But, actually, I get to do it. It's my first time playing 2 roles in one play. At one point I have to switch roles in a minute or less. Not sure how we'll do that.

Perhaps a beard and hat
could change my appearance - just like that.
