No Rest for the Weary
Well, now that we’ve opened Much Ado About Nothing, we couldn’t just leave well enough alone. So, we’ve begun rehearsals for our second show of the season, Hay Fever. We’ve spent the last two nights sitting around a table and reading and talking and dissecting and speaking in silly British accents.
Yup. Hay Fever is a British comedy. Remember Monty Python? Eddie Izzard? Black Adder? Red Dwarf? The Office (the original)? Brits are funny. So make sure to keep this on your calendar.
Of course… there is a problem for the actors when doing British comedy. It’s really easy to just slip into a British accent at inappropriate times throughout the day. At work. At the grocery store. Whatever. Theatre can be hazardous.
