End of 2nd Week
Saturday night in Japan at about 10:30. I just got out of a long, very relaxing bath, with Eva Cassidy (Time After Time) playing in the background. I forget how therapeutic a good bath can be. The bathtub in the hotel is big and deep so evening baths have become a bit of a ritual. Tonight's was especially satisfying because it was pretty cold here today and rainy.
We ran Act 1 today again and tested red cloths. Ah, the world of R&J. You'd think by now I would know exactly which material works best, but alas I don't. The fantastic stage management team has brought in many samples. Then we did a bunch of "table work" on Act 2 which we're going to start staging on Monday. As many times as I do this play, every time I really look at the text it is such an opening experience to the beauty and genius of Shakespeare. Every time I learn something new.
Tomorrow, our day off, I'm going to see Kabuki. I'm very very excited. New horizons...
This week as I turned on CNN before bed you would have thought that California was falling into the Pacific the way they were covering the mudslides and rain. My friends and colleagues in L.A. assure me this is not so. Whew!
I'm on the 22nd floor of the hotel and the rain is pelting against the huge window (it covers one whole wall of the room), and the drops are streaming down the pane of glass; the neon signs and lights of Shibuya look beautiful through the rolling drops.
It's my nephew's second birthday on sunday. I'm going to try to find a cute online birthday card before bed.
Til next time...
