Despite the fact that we’ve been together for almost three months and have so far only performed Henry V for a paying audience, we are quickly coming upon the first performances of The Spy in less than two weeks in West Lafayette, IN. As soon as Henry was up and running at the Guthrie, we began “brush-up” rehearsals for The Spy, which due to unforeseen circumstances, have become more of “put-two-actors-into-the-show” rehearsals. We are also rehearsing the 1-hour version of Henry which will be performed sans set and costumes for younger school groups who aren’t up to the 3-hour real thing.
The above photo shows the Henry set with the jagged platform and two of the columns for The Spy roughly taped out on it. Yes, it has to be done anew every day. And yes, the tape does pull up the finish on the floor!
