Experiment with An Air Pump Daily Notes
January
15th
SET:
the round table is a bit wobbly. Can it be tightened up?
there’s some molding loose DSC on the 14” platform. I put some gaff tape on it
so the actors wouldn’t trip
please come take a look at the telescope placement. It pokes out the window
where it is now—is that OK?
Cheryl wants to know if the actors can jump up and down on the table—it would
be Isobel and Armstrong—about 6 jumps
COSTUMES
please see the note about jumping—can Isobel jump?
Armstrong’s boots have a nail coming loose—it pokes his foot. I left the boot out
on your worktable
Cheryl would like to meet with you about Isobel’s ears—she’ll come to the shop
about 1:00 on Wednesday
Harriet and Maria pull each other’s hair during the fight scene—problem for the
hairstyle??
Isobel’s dress or apron needs to have a pocket to put the book of sonnets
PROPS
sorry, we broke the brandy snifter. We re-blocked that scene, so it shouldn’t
happen again
Harriet’s script needs to be more crumpled and re-written—like crossed out, and
notes in the margins—more like a work in progress
see the note about the round table
can we have Isobel’s gold chain for Tuesday’s rehearsals? –or is that a costume?
please note—the book of sonnets needs to fit inside a pocket—please see costume
notes
LIGHTS
Cheryl would like flashes to go along with the “enormous explosions”
SOUND
there should be explosions for each one noted in the script
the riot lasts about 10 minutes
we cut the ‘dog bark’ on page 22
MISC:
can we be in the studio on Thursday at 7:00 pm?
the theatre is really really cold—can something be done about that?
can Brian get a key to the theatre, too?
