Pre- production

It seems actually quite scary to think that in less twelve short months this show will be in an advanced state of rehearsal and may of the the ideas that I have had scribbled down will either be actioned or discarded. 

Putting on a show is a very organic process. Although I've been playing around with ideas for this piece oh, since last Autumn (and before that there were concepts that were dancing around my mind) its only now really that I'm starting to correlate ideas. Some - like a having a heavy rock guitar riff for Wayne's first entrance-have already made it into the garbage bin, as has my original (overly ambitious) thoughts  on set design. 

Now my plan is at time of writing to have pre-production "locked" once the audition and casting process is complete. That means in the next six weeks I am hoping to finalise all the conceptual work which means having a lighting design, a set design, music cues all in place by the beginning of May, so that I can then put the whole thing on the back burner until later in the year and focus on other EA projects that precede Normal. Thats the plan anyway... ask me again in six weeks and I may be telling a different story....
