The other night at rehearsal we played a game that I hated, because I'm terrible at thinking on my feet. (I know, that's a skill that all actors should have, but I don't.......yet.) The game was called hot-seat, and basically involved being interrogated, in character, by the other actors, also in character.

Okay, the game wasn't really so bad, but I was disappointed because we'd been planning to do a run-through of the play. I had some new things I was going to try out, and I had finally got all my lines well-memorized, and I was really looking forward to finally getting into more of the nuances of the play.

I suppose this is yet another example of Laura's directing skill; keep the actors challenged so that they don't become complacent.
