40 Dei - Wednesday March 11th

This was the kind of day you recall years later. What makes it all worthwhile. Run throughs of recent scenes not quite there in the morning; not bad but just missing. More detailed rehearsal. Break for lunch and then start another run and one particular scene of the boys drunk and one of them threatening to commit suicide from a bridge was perfect…almost out of nowhere. I looked round at everyone and they were transfixed. This play could, only could at this stage, be thrilling. Betio seems to be finding a way of not compromising his faith and still acting.
