I felt strong - certainly in saving myself after a total pratfall in the aisle of the theatre on the line "even so quickly were the signs apparent" [crashes into chair, hits the deck, gets up, quips: "some things were apparent"]
It didn't generate the laughs it did at the second Sydney preview and having had a really, really emotional day with it on Sunday in rehearsal, those discoveries came back into play, but not with the same rawness (happily/curiously) - which is a constant negotiation in manufacturing meaning in the moment without force. Ultimately the show went soundly. Relieving.
Delightful to hear Dr Ian McGrath's guffaw in the audience and catching up with him after the show.
And now Opening night. Having the house well over half full I'm just focussing on enjoying the day leading up to tonight.
