Poses interesting questions and (I hope) will really make you IB TA actors think about how you would respond to things going wrong.
I remember someone knocking off the lights during our "Never Kiss and Tell" performance, I believe - and Beatrice kept on going with her lines. Do all plays (scripted or devised) allow for seamless continuation despite interruptions? Should devised work try to incorporate possible errors - have a back-up of sorts, a trump card actors can pull out in times of need?
Also - Brecht's "Mother Courage and Her Children" (translation by Tony Kushner) is on at the National (Olivier).
Jen - this is one of the reasons I *still* haven't finished my email to you - I do so want to have a good discussion with you about this play. Especially after I watch it properly this weekend. hehe.
I hope you don't mind me challenging your students with some random bits and bobs inspired by London's theatre scene =) xx
