Hamlet: Tired, not enough time, and more tired
Today I am tired. Today we shot some of the video portions for this production of Hamlet.
The week ahead looks to be exhausting, what with the working at 9-5 and then rushing off to rehearsal every night. Of course this is what happens when the show opens in about a week.
That said, there are scenes that haven’t even been blocked yet. There are other scenes which we haven’t rehearsed for several weeks. The scene where I play a corpse has had more work than the ones in which I am speaking.
I’m still rusty on the Polonius & Ophelia lines (which are the ones we haven’t done in weeks).
So, basically there are 7 days to pull an actual performance out of this thing. At this point, I keep hoping that I can just get myself off book for all of my scenes, let alone pull an actual performance out of my ass.
Hopefully, I can do both.
Wish me luck. And stuff.
