Back from another "line, line, line" rehearsal - a bit smoother than last night, but not much. After we finished there was ninety minutes left so I made them do a line-through of act one. Hopefully, that was helpful to them. I have one actor who has a small but nice role who is so nervous about everything they can't remember two words - I mean, the role in total is maybe a couple of pages. But this character enters in their first scene and gives Whiteside a gift of some holly. And we have that prop. And they carry it in, start talking, and look directly at the prop and can't get the word "holly" out - after two minutes of that, I yelled pretty loudly, "HOLLY!" I don't usually do that kind of thing, but I'd had it by that point.
