The Evaluation Of The Dress Rehearsal!

I think the whole rehearsal process went really well, even if we did have a lot of last minute panic. People didn't know lines, they didn't know what they were doing, they didn't have costumes, but it all worked out just fine in the end. I went far better then I ever could have hoped, I think what it came down to in the end was that everyone put in 110% on the last week and we all really pushed to put on a good show, and we did just that.
I only had one thing I was scared about and that was the scene with me and Liam (The Tom and Guard scene) and that is only because we had only got though it a few times and both me and Liam didn't really know how it would go but once we went on stage it was fine. We got it right and we did it well, we held our characters and got tit done. I didn't really enjoy the scene very much but it did give me a chance to play a range of characters, so that's good

As a company we all got on very well and worked very hard, we all turned up to almost every rehearsal and we didn't really argue at all. I really liked working with Dani as I was helping her all the way with learning lines and all the work. I liked working with Danny as he was helping me out a lot with character work and written work as well. I liked working with Connor also as I was paired with him for two of my characters so we worked on getting them the way wanted together.

I think after the dress rehearsal we all got a lot closer as a group and that really helped with show night as we all gave each other that needed boost to put on a fantastic show. If I was to do things differently I think I would have liked a bit more dialogue as I spent a lot of time acting on stage but didn't have much opportunity to speak. I think I would have liked to have worked more with the other cast members and maybe that would have given me the extra insight that I needed to change a good set of characters to a great set of characters.
Over all I had a great time working with the group on Grapes Of Wrath and I do strongly believe that it has made us a lot stringer as a team and better and a production company.
