SNAFU - I wrote a major paper on Beckett in college - I think it is in my attic!
Wish I could see it!

Beckett is amazing and very difficult to do right. The lighting cues in Play alone are driving my poor stage manager crazy! Since the spotlight is the 4th character in this piece, the lighting cues have to be spot on to direct the rapid fire delivery of the dialogue. My actors are so stressed out after performing this short piece. When reading it, it seems quite simple but when one starts to put it onstage, you suddenly see the brilliant complexity of the piece.
Ah, I see in replying that Nom posted his family portrait. I see Nom, Sue, Mikey, can't make out the others. I wish BWW would fix this flaw in their ignore feature

Up and running and polished this thing to a shine. Tonight was the first night there were no going up on lines (PLAY is grueling on my actors, had to install aluminum stress bars inside their urns so they wouldn't rock or move while spitting out the rapid fire dialogue). Beckett enjoys pushing actors to their limits.
We open to the press on Tuesday and I am thrilled and terrified!
