Last Tuesday we finally managed to get everyone together for a read through of the first draft of the script. Prior to the read through we had a mini production meeting at my house….
Anna and Ness have only met once before so it was a chance for them to get acquainted and a chance for us all to sit and go through how we are going to approach producing this piece with regard to venues, staging, funding etc
It went pretty well – at least Anna and Ness were still smiling by the end of the meeting!

After a spot of lunch we headed to the Citizens’ Theatre where we had secured the Stalls Studio space for the read through thanks to David’s contacts! We did an audio recording of the whole thing including the post read through discussion which was invaluable.
It was fantastic to finally hear the words spoken – there is so much to be gained from a reading with actors and great that they were prepared to participate…
From left to right the participants are: David O’Neill (Director), Hazel Crawford, Ashley Smith, Mark Price, Ian Cameron, Kate Brailsford. (Mark will actually be composing the music for the show but kindly stepped in to read the part of the Ambassador)
I can now go as far as to say that the working title of this piece is……
and a little background reading might help you determine the subject matter……..
Any ideas?

After some random clicking have just realised this is your blog Ms Field! Hadn’t realised until I thought – “wait a minute – I recognise that living room – then pic of your friend Ness”. Looks very interesting and exciting but knowing nothing about theatre and its workings I have nothing to add but my very best wishes for lots of success in all you wish to achieve! Bella B!x
