Life pt 2

So - life in a marital institution opens at the end of the month - or rather, goes into preview.

I will start rehearsing with james shortly - and then, soon enough, it'll be tech.

I've a new lighting designer: lucrecia, who I am thrilled to be working with. She gets what I am going for, rather intuitively. I feel confident that adding her to the design team is a great choice.

We met with michael moore at the theater and discussed lighting an element to signify a change of place - not making james's face change, imposing an emotion on his face.

For james, the most important thing is making contact with the audience. If he can't see them, he's dead. So I feel assured that that's a priority for lucrecia.

Also discussed with michael moore the addition of some scenic element: blings? A red curtain? Something that will force james downstage, will be easy to light, and will not lead james into a void.

Soho playhouse seems like the right space.
