So, tonight is the dress rehearsal of Henry V, we have our first preview night tomorrow night, and by Sunday night, it will all be over!
Overall, it’s been good and good experience for me (ooh, something to put on my resume!). But it’s been exhausting and quite a big time commitment. I have to say that I haven’t felt full energy for a while now, especially with a big lack of sleep from Scout camp this past weekend which I don’t thing I’ve fully recovered from. It feels like the show is finally all coming together now, and despite tech rehearsals being slow and boring for the actors, it is pretty exciting to have lights, sound and set. But we’ll see how the dress rehearsal goes tonight.
I was talking to one of my friends, Zach, who is also in the show about this strange drug that is theatre. I mean, I always get soo stressed about it, and say “I can’t wait till this is all over”, and you get so sleep-deprived and sanity-deprived, and you think it will never end and then when it does, you know what you do? You do it all over again! I seem to have this annoying habit of taking on more that I should really be able to handle, but then when I’m finally done all my projects, I just get bored and take on more. Why, Daniel, why? But yeah, it’ll be nice to have Henry V be all over, and then I can have some free time.
Oh wait, actually I’m just getting started on another Shakespeare project. But that’s a story for another blog post….

Yay!
I really really enjoyed it!
The acting was VERY good and you were fantastic as Katherine. :D
If there was one thing I would change though, the end of the second act slightly confused me and I wasn't sure if the act was over or what. Maybe it was the red lights that came up on stage made me think that there was more scenes coming.
But other than that minor thing it was VERY well done and I could follow along with the plot perfectly fine even without having read the play before or reading a synopsis.
Well done!
