This week in INFERNO STV spot and a beagle’s reaction to Strindberg
After the third week of rehearsals we are finally through the play. That is to say: almost on schedule. This wouldn’t be possible without the hard graft of the players and the kind help of the volunteers at the Old Torry Community Centre. We have been rehearsing there for the past fortnight. For cast and crew, it has begun to feel like home.
Memorable INFERNO related incident of the week:
Looking to do some extra work finishing act III, we relocated to the Torry Battery. Partially for the scenic views, partially to avoid over-running and competing with the knitting club for use of the community centre, but mostly to allow Hoffman – a castmember’s pet beagle – to stretch his legs.
It was Hoffman’s first introduction to Strindberg and an educational experience for all. It was one that resulted in the dog chewing a number of scripts and a Strindberg mask. However, this wasn’t necessarily a statement by the puppy or a reflection on the quality of work. As it turned out Hoffman was just experiencing some teething problems.
