Wednesday, February 11

For Anya,
I have been thinking about Anya. Be carefree at the beginning, laughing at villagers, etc. until Bridget gives her line. Let us see you thinking. We need to get you into Lannon’s meeting early enough that we can see the indecision on your face. After the meeting, let us see tears of frustration. How do you feel about your father? Do you remember him with humor – he was always on your case or do you see him as a disciplinarian – and you miss a relationship with him. I think we need to see the indecision all the time. It nearly overtakes you in the tombs.

As to your handbag. You are a seamstress. You would probably have spools of thread, oil, scissors, etc. Find the spools that Kayla used in Midsummer. You might also have a knife/knitting needles because the streets were tough and you do not have a male protector. You need a handkerchief… perhaps a glass bottle of pills – I am trying to think of things that would make noise. An assortment of bottles with things to fix your machine when it breaks.

For everyone, Ms. Mercati is willing to answer SOME questions. Do not write novels. You may make comments about the play, ask questions, ask for insight into your character. Think before you start writing as she is a busy writer. We are truly fortunate that we have the opportunity to speak to her.

  5. That is a good line. And I think that it's pretty awesome that she is willing to answer some questions for us. We should definitely take advantage of that.
