January 24, 2017

 

Everyone	Diction Still need more people noises People noises in bar scene. People noises in lantern scene.  No one with exception of Lady H, Edwin, and Priscilla has seen this phenomenon. Everyone, be sure you understand what you are saying and why you are saying this.  This is so important to judges. For discussion – stage lights are amber to show the mood as well as age the set.  Would it show a difference to view the wealthy with a different hue?
Man 1	Louder and to audience – Gut girls is out. Quiet tonight gals – louder and speak more downstage.  We probably need to reblock your cross.
Edwin	You need to be louder and deeper.  Your voice is unique and different from the others. Take advantage of this. Louder and more angry with manhood line. Be angry at  your self and disappointed in your weakness.  Head up and your next times need to be different and more intimidating. Not believable – your reaction to Lady H’s the  airlessness.  Need to be more obvious with knife. Audience needs to see your decision to offer Arthur a drink.  Listen to his lines and decide when to do it. Fainting was good.
Arthur	Cheat out to the audience more when talking to others. Be on time in your scenes. Leave jacket on in house. Take chains with you when you exit.
GG	Harry’s entrance – flinch, gasp, people noises Be quieter when entering when Lady H and Priscilla have their prompt scene. Step on Len’s line – now look girls Born dead – people noises When Ellen says organize – more PN PN going to the club. PN in bar. PN in sarnies scene was good. Hats – going to bar.  Ellen, wear your hat, then take it off when Maggie says she doesn’t know where people are or, Could not hear or understand Maggie in we are all fallen women.
Stage lighting	No lights on scenes that are not the focus. It cannot flicker. Do it manually and begin sitting backstage on Sunday.
Harry	Initially, you are trying to “woo” Annie. Don’t push her.  When you pass her as you exit behind Ellen, pause and look at her. More facial expressions when you hear what girls are saying, especially – I heard we were all being laid off.  – the company has told you to keep this quiet. You are afraid that the gossip Ellen has heard will affect your job. Hard to hear and understand you when you leave.
Lady H	Occasionally, pick up your dress or kick meat when you are in shed. Great people noises. Hands in pockets of knickers. Research pens in Vic. England and we need to get you one.
Annie	More facial expressions when Lady H is in gutting shed. When Ellen says I only lasted a day, you speak too quickly. Look more shocked. Could not understand you when you are talking to Maggie – ask Grace. Gasp and almost cry when Harry makes a move on you.
Maggie	When saying – we’re ladies – be more cocky and sexy After your mom’s scene and your final line, down the beer. More threatening to Edwin with knife. Hold it with both hands. Go behind bar so we can see you when talking to Ellen.
Len	First bar scene – get it fixed in your head that you have a purpose exiting. Be bigger.
Ellen	Be crying before the end of Annie’s story.
Light and Ellen	In Ellen/Annie scene, Ellen is not in the light. How can we fix this?
Eady	Angrier – God knows…. Throw the towel on the basket. Exit angrier when speaking with Maggie. Slow down.
Priscilla and Lady H	Priscilla stand up when you say, That’s just it, and Lady H prompts you to sit down.
Sound effects	We need them.
Priscilla	May need to add black or gray to your purse.
Lady H and Kate	When mimicking Lady H, lady H moves her head to speak to all girls, Kate moves behind her to avoid being seen.
Ellen and Annie	Be more convincing when hugging
Ellen	Carry union papers with you. Could not understand foreman line. Last line needs to be more forceful.
Polly	Liverish – hold up liver Vary your voice. It seems like you are always yelling.
Arthur and Edwin	Faster entrance into the bar so you can be holding drinks and Len can pay attention to the girls and not to you.
Kate	Lady Helena bigger than Lord T. More arrogant and chin up in last line.
Arthur and Priscilla	We need to return your scene back to the original.
TO DO	More material in the fire. Spray mop Lady H’s hat on hatrack prior to girls entering club.
