Anyone who knows me would think that with the title of the email it would be focusing on the Yankees beating the Mets. No. The greatest team on earth is Sarah, Betsy, Lea, and Jessica.
Tonight's run was a disappointment. A disappointment because it lacked the energy, stakes, moment to moment work that is cliche for second previews. It is a disappointment when you see the trap coming and still walk right into it. The audience saw a fine play. I believe they enjoyed it. I did not.
Then I went out to eat with the designers and Jessica and was challenged about what the play is about. What the event of the play is. What is the fundamental experience the characters are going through and why is it vital for us to watch? Those were the questions on my notes tonight for the actors. But with truly intelligent questions and challenges of choices in the rehearsal process from Sarah, Lea, and Betsy I was able to clearly identify the work that needs to occur over the next couple of days.
The experience has been expressed in notes. But it really has to be grounded in work the next couple of days. The play lives in the two lovers being left alone together and discovering each other and themselves, and learning if they are capable of being loved and loving one another. The foundation of that experience is the essence of the play. That is it. Previews can be painful because you think you did that in the rehearsal room, not until you are in front of an audience and see where actors retreat to when tired that you learn clearly that the foundation is not as deep as you thought. This is not a criticism of the actors. It is an enlightenment - and push from Lea, Betsy, and Sarah to dig deeper. And for that push, I am most grateful.
Goodnight,
Padraic
