This was our last week before the performance of The Sound of Musicals, which means that we didn't really do anything else but practiced the whole show and fixed the details that had to be fixed. Also, I spent some time during the week to get a costume for Let It Go, and I was quite worried for a while because I found nothing, but in the last minute I managed to get a dress and also a tiara.
It was quite an exhausting week, especially the weekend, because I had to work all day on Friday and Saturday, and we had an extra rehearsal on Sunday right before the actual performance. I think the show went very well apart from some tiny mistakes, but those always happen, even with professional actors.
Frozen – Let It Go
The Rocky Horror Picture Show – Time Warp
On Friday I was extra busy, because I had a modelling job for the morning up at the north coast. It was quite interesting as I've never done any professional modelling before, but I got very tired by the end of it because the weather was unusually hot and the sunlight was very strong. I even got sunburnt pretty badly by the end of it even though I put on suncream in the morning before I left home. But it was worth, because the pictures are awesome. I'm even allowed to use them as headshots, so I'm really happy :)
As for Blood Brothers and The Maids, I didn't really have time to work on either of them before Sunday, but I tried to read the scene from The Maids as often as possible to memorise the lines.
On Monday I finally had enough time to work on that last monologue of The Maids. The first thing I did about it was finding out the objectives. The objective of the whole monologue is that Solange wants Claire to hurry up with the preparations so that they can start the actual ritual, because she wants it to be finished before Madame comes back home. Earlier in the play (not in our scene) she and Claire talk about spending too much time on the "preliminaries", the preparations and introduction of their roleplay, and that's why they don't ever get to the end of their ritual (which is the murder of Madame). She intends to skip those parts to have more time for the main part of the ceremony: the insults and then the actual murder. In the second part of the monologue she tells how excited she is about getting rid of Madame. The reason for her excitement must be that, as the sisters also mention in other parts of the play, killing Madame would make them "free". They sort of see themselves as slaves. On the other hand, I think Solange already knows during this monologue that she won't be strong enough to finish the ceremony and it has to be Claire who actually murders Madame.
