Final Rehearsals

When going through our finals rehearsals we made sure that props and other things that we needed for the performance were in place. For example, we realised that Ami needed to tie a letter to her foot which we couldn't do in bare foot. To solve this, we placed a pair of shoes by one of the chairs so that she could put them on during a blackout. Also, when doing a full run through, we realised that we each need a letter for the ending to place in a pile on the ground. when we came to this scene, not everyone had a letter by them. to solve this we placed an extra letter by each chair to ensure that everyone had access to  letter throughout he performance.

When rehearsing the 'chair scene' the letter was threw away from the chair and I had to come out of the group to pick it up, so we decided that this should be incorporated into the performance as it draws the audience's attention to the person who has emerged from the group to retrieve the letter. This also solved the issue of the letter being thrown into a random direction on the night of the performance to reduce the chances of error.

We also realised that at the end of the performance it ends up to be a pile of letters at front and centre stage. However, a letter was left near by from the chair scene which distracted the audience's focus. To solve this, we decided that when I walk off with the chair in the chair scene, I pick the letter up as well as the chair and walk off with both.
