Brutal - BARE is now a long one act. All of the action of Act II has been compressed down into a tidy three pages at the end of what used to be Act I. The excess fat has been trimmed away and all that remains is meat - protein and vitamins.
Don said something tonight at rehearsal that really resonated about Terri's hanginontoolonghubby - and I now will take a look at his journey. His guilt, his shame, his refusal to let go of her shell of a body. The cast has been amazing, bringing nothing but willingness to an ever changing piece - the pressure of new lines, new scenes, new new new - and they are giving nothing but service and dedication. So grateful, because only now is the emotional logic of BARE coming to a boil and I need all the help I can get.
Hope it's not another long night. Maybe I should sleep instead and let dreamtime bring me knowledge.
We shall see. All shall be revealed.
Boom. Boom.
