I predict a riot ...

Yet another crazy, chaotic rehearsal - story of my life really - but we did manage to struggle from one end of Three Sisters to the other, and as it's the longest of the plays, that was quite an achievement in its own right.

As I said to the cast, we are about four weeks behind where we ought to be, but that is depressingly familiar. More encouragingly, not only do we at last seem to have a settled cast, there were also glimpses of comedy, pathos, drama.
