Technical Rehersals

We are just two days away from the opening night of the theatre company’s next production. We are putting on a production ‘Les Miserables’, the Victor Hugo classic. It’s best known as the musical version but this is the stage play . I have to say that this production has been particularly hard going as the play is both very long and very wordy, but its been most enjoyable all the same (so far). Tonight was the technical rehearsal. Technical rehearsals are a peculiar evening as they seem to be incredibly boring for the cast but full of stress and tension for me.. I should explain that I am directing the piece… but the lights have been programmed, the sound effect prepared and the explosions tested and its onwards toward tomorrows dress rehearsal.
