It'll be interesting getting these rather large flats into the building but I think my measurements are right. It's the gauze that will be the main issue...
It covered our garage and is extremely hard to work with! Again, I hope my measuring was up to scratch when we come to hang it.
Next we have to 'get in' to the theatre which we'll do on Monday/Tuesday, with Jack and I doing as much as we can to cable up the lights and get things working before the cast turn up for their tech and dress from 4.30pm.
Alex's soundscape is sounding fabulous and adding a very menacing and pervasive feeling of unease - I think that was a good idea. When it first ran through the rehearsal there was a palpable change in the energy of the room.
Lisa's been pushing the cast to take more emotional risks with their parts now - taking things to the edge.
I'm delighted we'll have at least a few in the house for the dress rehearsal with the National's assessor coming on our first night. And then I'll hand over the play to Christabel to run in true pro fashion.
In a week it will be all over (until Northampton in May) and I'll be so sad not to be working with this very talented and really lovely group of people. They clearly have such a bond of friendship it makes me very happy that we've put them together. I pray they have a wonderful experience in the show and that their memories are entirely positive of the show and the process. Mine certainly are.
Break a leg, everyone. I couldn't be prouder of you all!
