April 5

Everyone
What happened to diction?
Say names almost each time you speak.
Calloused to Tipperary – it’s not spontaneous. Don’t look ahead of time where you are putting things. Sing scared and look terrified
Re read earlier critiques.
Tipperary people – put rubble more left stage so that Judith and Joan’s scene is not blocked by rubble.
Project more
Practice doesn’t make perfect.  Perfect practice makes perfect.  Thanks to Maky for notes.
Don’t say extra sentences.  Words spontaneous work
Beach scene – couldnot understand
DICTION LOUDER
Rehearsals need to be taken seriously
Everyone is anticipating lines.
REACT TO WAR BEING DECLARED.
Need fog especially in Joan and Judith scene
Judith’s dress must be in the rubble.
Move right stage crates open
Angie
Put hand in hole and touch near Kate
Sheila & Bela
Factory women
Last factory scene women would do anything to save yourselves.  Look at J & J almost accusing them or give them up to Frakker.  Joan’s always drunk so she could have done it.  Everyone knows Judith could be accused.
Bigger laughs in first scene – Bela is the only one laughing
First factory scene boring.  Look at each other - interact
Bar scene
Love Sheila talking, bela looking at ring and Joan drinking BUT look at Sheila once or twice.
Haris
Your words force your hands so you can look at them. You can’t believe that these hands that create can destroy
Judith
Jacket in scenes where everyone is wearing jackets.
Tom
Cough was fake in dead girl
Shoes?
Be fascinated with body
More down stage with glass. 
Eli
DICTION – each word in each line must be heard – base wage
That bomb needs A fuse
Music
Too loud Tipperary
Second bomb needs to be louder - Sarah
ALister
Ask Sarah – you cant go around like that
Mrs. Briggs
Could hear you first and diction great – later could not hear.
Mr. Briggs
Drop bat closer to left stage
Bela
Photographer – don’t walk in front of people talking – Mrs. Briggs
Sheila
See Reese – make it obvious and then love a man
Ramzi -worker
Screw the lid with difficulty off bomb
