1st Read

Last night was the first read through of the script... we had some lebanese food and sat around my living room and (i think) all enjoyed ourselves a great deal! I have to say I was most surprised at how many laughs there were. It's not a funny subject really, but some parts of Nellie's story are particularly ridiculous and I've applied a hightened theatrical style in places that points up the ridiculousness... so I guess that worked. There's still some shaping to do. And we've got a lot to do in rehearsal, but I think we've got a great start!
