Apologies for the absence of a post last week – it was as simple a matter as not having taken a photo. But actually, both weeks can easily be fitted together. In both cases, we have reached the stage of running sections of the play. And encouragingly, the words do seem to be sticking; no small achievement when this is quite a wordy play, and is, of course, in a foreign language, so far as our actors are concerned, so all the more credit to them.
We have had a bit of a problem with technology, finding the right clip of music to accompany a short movement sequence in the play. I wanted to use some Laurel and Hardy music – their theme tune – but though I have this on CD, moving it across to digital, so that it can be played from a phone, seems to be problematic. But we do seem to have solved the problem, using the good offices of Spotify and/or You Tube. Not that we have yet tied music and action together. Next week, perhaps.
