This evening's performance is likely to be the first time a number of finishing touches will have been seen by anyone, including me! It stands to reason that a production with lots of untried ideas and techniques will suffer from the odd setback at the very death, which has been the cause of no small degree of stress for myself in the last twenty-four hours.
But, by 7.30 this evening, the lights will go up on a finished product that is the result of many people's incredible hard work and dedication. My feelings are the inevitable mixture of fear, excitement and fatigue, not helped by the fact that all I can do now is sit and wait.
The final dress rehearsal last night was delayed by the aforementioned technical difficulties, when when it started, it was lovely to see the actors really getting to grips with the piece, and the lighting and sound working together to create some tremendous effects. What will audience's make of it? I really have no idea. Perhaps I will be able to answer the question in a few hours time.
I'm so very very tired...
