"Turning the accomplishment of many years Into an hourglass..."

Well, we made it. Hell Week is over and all three shows are up and running. Now to lapse into a coma from which I may never wake.

Henry V went well, all things considered. There were no major hiccups, though there were a few flubbed lines ("...such a sum of...CASH!"). I think I did ok; honestly, it's hard to tell at this point. My throat is so ragged from talking that I sound like George Burns after a tracheotomy.



I fear I yelled too much, but as the rehearsals went on, it became firly clear to me that there's a lot of yelling called for in the show. It just seems that I was the only one doing it.

The last scene went great. I only added back a little to one of Henry's lines when he's talking about how he can't speak very well but it's better to have a good heart than good rhetoric. The actress that plays Katherine is fantastic and makes her into an angel that can pardon all of Henry's sins (self-accused or otherwise). In all, it was a nice wrap-up to a well-performed, well-directed show. And to think I was worried...

"SCONE!!!"
