Okay, I put it together in a stage-able form - approximately 70 minutes without intermission. I need about ten to fifteen more minutes of material, methinks.
The biggest problems I'm having are the transitions between the monodrama and the short plays - all the ones that deal with the doc visits.
And Quitting Time. Not sure - i think it needs a lot of work. I am very close to it, so i can't see it clearly. It's the heaviest section of the whole damn piece, which is probably why I'm so uncomfortable - I tried not to let humor seep into it like in the others. It needed to have a rawness, yet the rawness had to be tempered with "mystery" for lack of better. . .
I'm also not sure whether to have chemo before or after intermission, or even have an intermission and just perform the fucker raggedly and relentlessly.
We came back from our anniversary week today. It would have been nicer without the anger/depression, the fucking problems with Footloose, and/or the problems with buying the house. But we do settle next fucking Friday. I plan to have a truck packed Thursday night so as soon as we walk through and sign papers and exchange other nonsense, we can move our shit in ASAP. I did run out of boxes tonight.
And I missed Splendor in the Grass rehearsal tonight. For some reason, I thought it was a different night. Closing, health, footloose, etc. . . something had to fucking give.
Tomorrow three hours of house inspection, more packing, then back to footloose (which I'm enjoying). Friday - another HUMC appointment and I am fucking PRAYING that they either reduce the roids or increase the Klonipan. For the sake of anyone I'm near.
I do want some feedback on the Quitting Time section - I'll email it to you if you'd like to read/critique. I'm hoping to shape this up for a September tour.
