LO4-Preparing for this show required a lot of dedication, as we often met for 6 hours a week as the performance grew nearer. This was something we all enjoyed doing but grew increasingly hectic in the few weeks before the play. Two of the three cast members, myself included, fell sick with a fever a week before our first performance. This meant that we missed three of the last seven practices, but we managed because of the work we had put in beforehand.
LO5-Working as a group has been a pivotal part of this experience, as this is not a one-man play. Working in a small group (5 people) was fun as we all got to give our input into blocking and costume, but the lines have been difficult to memorize. We were only able to get them for the first time when we had to confirm our performance with the drama teachers. We also had to work together to understand the play, which had a lot of physics and history references. Our director understood and explained the physics material, and we all contributed what was needed to understand the historical context as well as the Danish pronunciations.
