From hearing reviews from everyone else on Richard III I was not expecting it to be very good.
But I was amazed when I came out of the theatre!
I thought it was wonderfully done.
All the women in the play were amazing! I especially loved Queen Margaret.
I was disappointed in Hans' (he played Richmond) performance. I am usually very impressed, but he was not very good in this role and didn't look the part. I would have been a lovely Richard though. I think he does better in Eccentric roles.
Today was interesting. In rehearsal Don taught everyone how to laugh and cry. It was unnerving. He had everyone laugh and cry alone in the middle of the stage. It was slightly depressing since he taught us how to laugh and then cry so there wasn't anything to cheer everyone up afterwards.
We're all suppose to be off book by Friday. I have confidence that I will be off book, since I'm almost done memorizing. ^.^ Yay me!
