Notes for Run Through 2

Jenny work on characterisation, great performance however, "middle ages woman who has seen quite a lot of life" 

"Pretty young things" character you can refer to. 

Meryl Streep?

Harry and Mitch, Mitch take part in the transition scene 2.  Whispered lines by chorus "master, master,I am here to do your bidding" louder. Scene 3.

"Now you are near me, do not pass me by" 

Scene 4, considering we hadn't run through for a long time, it was very good just needs a lot of physical sharpening up. 

When Dracula Leaves we go Into bats and are lead off.

Yunis faint is very good by voice clarity needs work, "I so want to get well for you" Jenny more brisk.

Whole energy very "matter of fact".

"Bossy".

Scene 6 very funny but still need a "kiss and a nuzzle".

Transition to scene 6-7 lunatics to make a bit of noise to cover transition? Into cell position, Bella bought up the idea of marching, but the fact is it needs something.

Yunis don't actually go into the cell til' Nesbit is gone.

Also note "blue bottle" is a fly

Also a bit more help on pronounciation.

Renfield help on lines "soul to wake" needs to be really "bonkers" because we need a big contrast in hysteria.

Nice strangling, Michelle can come in stronger.

Scene 8, great considering we were missing people, very touching, we decided we will record melody so that we can follow it and play it in the actual performance. To keep the notes.

Scene 8-9 transition brilliant, scene 7-8 transition needs to be stronger

Blackouts for massive changes. Before rituals for emphasis.

Scene 10 Seward, Yunis playing the emotions very well, but what we are not getting is the "man of science" , needs to be stronger and exaggerated and in the following scene. "I cannot believe in vampires" - he believes in science! The only thing he has in his belief in science, one last bit of solid ground.

That will then help with "Jonathan I saw it with my own eyes".

Lunatics quieter so we can hear limerick better

Scene 12- we need to look at positions for drugging renfield.

Scene 13- again, "long night and nothing" - another example, Yunis more dismissive. Until Mina walks in. His world is now cast adrift.

Jenny "look this child" ... You're giving a clue, more emphasis.

Scene 14- Lines, very ropey.

Scene 15- ritual, looking great, but everyone keep their heads up, (everyone unsure of where to keep their heads).

Scene 16- brilliant, funny.
