Had the meeting mid morning and no explosions. But a cast change. Titus is now the sole pastor. Bob going to have a crack at the MP. Superb run through of the 2nd half in the afternoon despite the blistering heat, which is a reminder that a cyclone is still possible. Jo watched it, plus a visiting intern,Richard, from East 15 acting School.
Wed, really bad run through which I watched from another seat and decided I’d made a hash of the blocking.
Thursday, great run through of the whole play and the world is right again. Except it isn’t because Albert’s wife has given birth to a baby boy..2 months prematurely and there a scare in the afternoon that the baby is not well. Better news in the evening but it will be touch and go for a while which cannot make it easy for Albert to rehearse.
Vanuatu’s police commissioner was at WSB attending a forum organised by Mike for youth and representatives from rural villages we work with. It was their chance to quiz various reps from the legal sector. It was impressive that the guests all turned up. One youth asked if the commissioner thought it was right that when youth were arrested on suspicion of rape or theft they also got beaten up by the police. He asked if ‘bigmen’(ie politicians etc) were also beaten up if they got arrested. Brave lad. The police commissioner urged everybody to report cases of police brutality today not tomorrow and there was a panel in the police to deal with exactly this sort of thing, which naturally reassured everyone in the room.
