Just a note on the Rumble....
I think what is starting to coming across in the action now, whether that action be musical, movement or textual dialogue and scene work, is the reality of the situation in hand, the central human condition at the core of the action. It began to be grasped by the cast today as we worked through the reality of the awful situation of the rumble and the culmination of the tensions that bring the story to this harsh point; the brutal fact that by the end of the scene, all involved in this pivotal moment have actually been complicit in murder - the taking of another human life. At the end of Act one there are two bodies on the ground, put there by boys playing at being men who can kill. But when reality hits home and those boys realise the full depth and resonances of their actions - what it really means to be a man who kills, play time is over for ever.
