On Friday 7th June, the day before the first showing of the mummer's play, we began the rehearsal with yoga, making sure we warmed up before we actually started. Throughout the session, we were aiming to finish working on the second half of the performance, tidying up the action and the movement simultaneously. Starting from the section where my character, Tosspot spits on Rachel's character, Jack Finney, we worked right through to the end of the piece, sorting out the positioning of the end dance also. This proved very strenuous and everyone seemed really tired, but it was also encouraging to see everybody so enthusiastic despite this.
By far though, the highlight of the rehearsal was the speed run that we did towards the end of the evening. Watching everybody run around frantically shouting jibberish in double-time,only made it even more amusing. This part was definitely my favourite, a right good laugh and a perfect end to the session.
