Cuts
Ruth, that line establishes that you are Jewish. It is my favorite Bible story because Sarah was such a devout Christian as well as daughter in law. I probably think about her everytime I am with my mother in law. Crazy? The judge, in all fairness, will not have that in his/her experience. Greg and I talked about the play last night. He said it drug in two places - the society girls' scene and the jail scene with the pots and pans. Look at these two areas. The society girls' scene needs oomph, not cutting. However, the tomb scene's pot dancing could be cut some. Think about other areas that can be cut. We will tighten the play up with transitions. This is a cool website. Use it to create character emotions for your character or for the play. http://www.wordle.net/create

ReplyDeleteok
ReplyDeleteREAD! NOT READ LIKE AS IN I AM READING A BOOK< READ AS IN LIKE I READ THIS, AND , i think that keri is right, i think that those lines are pretty pointless.
ReplyDeleteI read this...and yes, I agree that the pot banging in the tomb scene could be shortened. It always seems to have some silent, awkward moments.
ReplyDeleteI understand that it establishes my religion, but I just keep thinking back to how none of us understood what I was talking about for a WHILE until you told us. I'm afraid that the audience -and the judge for that matter- won't understand it either.
ReplyDeleteto see the stars!! good line to cut...
ReplyDeletei feel like some of us during the society girls scene, dont know what to do...maybe we could work with the blocking and our stage business or something.
lastly, the tombs scene feels kind of awkard at times. all us girls need to do this scene for fun sometime so we can really get into it and actually HAVE FUN during this scene...i just feel like were trying too hard to act like were having fun and laughing when really we just feel awkward.
