Everyone	Where is the noise coming from during production? We need to move the round table by Lady H’s before the rape scene, then return it again before the Maggie/Lady H/Edwin scene. Step on lines at the end. Start singing when red lights come on in the beginning JoAnna, start hitting in tempo with song at the beginning. Must listen to each other. Must connect – remember chairs. Bar scene drug. We must see the change in everyone’s journey. No freezes – move slowly. In these scenes, use the facial expression you have had in the previous scene. Don’t anticipate. We must see everyone’s journey. Think of two more places we can transition from laughter to crying or crying to laughter. ARSE
Polly	Wear scarf like Ellen’s. Lord will provide – take out meat. Switch with another girl in sarnies scene.
Len	Laugh – slow down on the “protection” speech.
Girls	Shake Helena’s hand if she extends it to you – especially Kate and Annie Fallen women – Lady H panics and tries to cover bare legs which should be dirty. Priscilla tries then dies laughing. Step on lines at the end. Connect, especially at the beginning. React to Harry differently each time. Leave it said differently. Women react differently each time. Song needed to have more energy at the beginning. Even though you may not like Lady H, you are amazed she is in Gutting shed. React to Ellen taking Jim’s job. We need to see you warm up to Lady H. DO NOT SCREECH!!!
Men	Be stronger in your body.  Think of ways to be more dominant over the women. Help each other out. Laugh at the women’s weaknesses whenever possible. Chins up Arthur – stand up straight. I think I need to find a better back brace.
Annie	Stage business – do you remember what Freida said. We need to see your journey to become more like Ellen. How does it affect you when you see Ellen as you exit bar? Master and Mistress
Kate Maggie	At the beginning when Jim comes in, rush to help him. Flirt with him. Get mad at the girls for teasing him, especially Maggie.
Edwin	Acknowledge Arthur. Tip your hat. Remember chairs with Lady H Loved the faint. People noises fainting and in rape scene.
Lady H Edwin	Smell, then see the carnage in the slaughter house.
Man 1	Different voice. You’re quiet tonight gils.
Arthur	Remember conversation with Lady H in chairs- no pauses like we have done. When Lady H says her last line give her a bad look. We need to see the decisions you make. Build in your scenes with Priscilla. Wait until you are in light to speak.
Kate & Jim	Step on lines
Harry	Pat Annie’s bottom after yelling at Ellen See a difference in you each time you enter.  Let the disgust, anger at the girls grow. Be more upset when you figure out the girls are making fun of you. Smile evilly. WINK!
Lights	Have light on Priscilla and Harry entering Lady H’s house A tad more light on lantern show. We need to see Edwin and Maggie. Flash with thunder in rape scene.
Arthur and Edwin	Grunt and let’s hear breathing after encounters with women.
Lady H	Hand Priscilla a hankie when she cries. Look at Edwin with the last line. Did you hum?
Stage crew	Bruise makeup on Priscilla
NEED	Transition after rape scene
Stage lights	Turn light off Priscilla See more of faces. Carly, just a dim light.
Kate	Be diligent with cross to Annie – watch for Helena’s gesture. Great reacting to Lady H’s Bible reading. Move toward light in magic show scene.
Harry and women	We must see tension when he enters.  We have to hate him and have our hearts cry with girls.
Annie & Ellen Ellen and Maggie	Cheat out   How are these two scenes different?
Ellen and Maggie	Need to see both faces during this scene.
Maggie	Great job
Eady & Maggie	Great work. Amazing scene.
Priscilla	Shocked when in club for first time.
Ellen, Jim, Harry	Exiting needs people noises.
Ellen	Be quiet walking.
JoAnna	Thunder earlier
