So, for this rehearsal, we handed out scripts, discussed the concept of the show and read through the first four acts, discussing possible interpretations of the characters along the way. Basically, Macbeth and Lady Macbeth exist in a dream world where they are manipulated by witches. For our rehearsal process, we're going to be using lots of different sources, not just the text (remember the smashed up/pushed over cake illustration). These sources can be posted on the super awesome blog that we have: http://sotgmacbeth.blogspot.com/! Feel free to find sources in movies, music, images, whatever!

Anyways, the rehearsal schedule is as follows (Note: if you listed a conflict, you are not called for the hours you wrote down):

Monday: Witches and Macbeth called, Lady Macbeth later on--ensemble work with the Witches; Hannah will work with Macbeth; when Olivia arrives at 8:30, Lady Macbeth can join him
Tuesday: All called--work together
Wednesday: Witches and Macbeth called--ensemble work with the Witches; Hannah will work with Macbeth
Thursday: Macbeth and Lady Macbeth called--will work for a few hours and go to Swing; witches are NOT called
Friday: All called--work together
Saturday: No rehearsal
Sunday: Witches and Macbeth called--ensemble work with the Witches; Hannah will work with Macbeth

Who is working with whom may change slightly depending on how the rehearsals go, but these are the days you will be called on.
