This is the madman,

00:01:30.000 --> 00:01:34.999
the lover almost frantic,

00:01:35.000 --> 00:01:39.999
the poet\'s eye.

00:01:40.000 --> 00:01:44.999
Tough(ph) the glands(ph) from heaven
to earth and earth, a heaven.

00:01:45.000 --> 00:01:49.999
Strong imagination.

00:01:50.000 --> 00:01:54.999
[music]

00:01:55.000 --> 00:01:59.999
With my eyes I cannot hear,

00:02:00.000 --> 00:02:04.999
with my ears I cannot
see, my hand cannot taste

00:02:05.000 --> 00:02:10.000
nor my heart to conceive what my dream was.

00:02:15.000 --> 00:02:20.000
[music]

00:02:30.000 --> 00:02:34.999
Actors Home, yeah, I don\'t
know the exact date.

00:02:35.000 --> 00:02:39.999

Sorry.

Okay. Thank you. Bye, bye.

00:02:50.000 --> 00:02:54.999
All right.

00:02:55.000 --> 00:02:59.999
What the hell are we doing… Now huh?

00:03:00.000 --> 00:03:04.999
No idea. Hi, how are you? Hi. Thank you.

00:03:05.000 --> 00:03:13.000
[music]

00:03:20.000 --> 00:03:24.999
Jordan.

00:03:25.000 --> 00:03:29.999
To the actors fun homes. Thank you. Thank
you. We\'re excited as you\'re in this process

00:03:30.000 --> 00:03:35.000
is something we\'ve talked about for quite some time. Yeah. So,
it\'s excited to finally get this thing going forward today.

00:03:55.000 --> 00:03:59.999
So I\'m here to introduce you

00:04:00.000 --> 00:04:04.999
to a couple of people here and first
I just wanna you know officially

00:04:05.000 --> 00:04:09.999
sort of announce what here is umm… as everybody
knows we\'ve been talking about for quite some time

00:04:10.000 --> 00:04:14.999
now a couple of years this possible production uh…
today is the official kick-off of that production.

00:04:15.000 --> 00:04:19.999
Why don\'t we first give them
a big actors warm welcome.

00:04:20.000 --> 00:04:24.999
Oh my god.

00:04:25.000 --> 00:04:29.999
My… my name is Ben Steinfeld.
My name is Noah Brody.

00:04:30.000 --> 00:04:34.999
Noah and I, you know, worked together in this theater
company we also have our own lives as actors

00:04:35.000 --> 00:04:39.999
as well as… as… as directing and stuff so we really tend
to make our plays from the point of view of… of actors.

00:04:40.000 --> 00:04:44.999
I\'m just really thrilled that
Noah and I get to learn from…

00:04:45.000 --> 00:04:49.999
from all of you from your artistry and from your experience
and… and from your unique points of view about this play

00:04:50.000 --> 00:04:54.999
and… and you know we don\'t know we have no
idea what the show of… of this will be.

00:04:55.000 --> 00:04:59.999
We\'ll be asked ourselves the question

00:05:00.000 --> 00:05:04.999
what does it mean to do Midsummer
Night\'s Dream here with you.

00:05:05.000 --> 00:05:09.999
You mean you no idea, do not have a
basic idea to hold it all together.

00:05:10.000 --> 00:05:14.999
I don\'t know that we could have come in here would say, here…
here\'s our version of what this play is going to mean.

00:05:15.000 --> 00:05:19.999
You not gonna do the whole play, are you?
Where are you?

00:05:20.000 --> 00:05:24.999
That\'s really a question for us as a group,

00:05:25.000 --> 00:05:29.999
what… what does success mean for us?
What does a production mean for us?

00:05:30.000 --> 00:05:34.999
Umm… Does that mean putting uh… you know
doing the entire play, doing every scene.

00:05:35.000 --> 00:05:39.999
(inaudible). I got a cast,
it\'s what who\'s playing what

00:05:40.000 --> 00:05:44.999
and practical on that sort of thing. Bro.

00:05:45.000 --> 00:05:49.999
Yes, we will… we will cast it we will have
a real show, we will have a real script

00:05:50.000 --> 00:05:54.999
and as you say the best way for us to get to know each other is
through the work and through doing the work which will begin shortly.

00:05:55.000 --> 00:05:59.999
What are your hopes and desires for
this process and this production?

00:06:00.000 --> 00:06:04.999
The whole idea of this to
me is wonderful because

00:06:05.000 --> 00:06:09.999
I spent 43 years doing it and it\'d
be so heaven to get back doing it

00:06:10.000 --> 00:06:14.999
just of the heart and the soul of it,
where I am, I\'ll always be there,

00:06:15.000 --> 00:06:19.999
oh this is really is my whole life inside, it\'s
been a wonderful way of getting that back,

00:06:20.000 --> 00:06:24.999
it comes then nothing else replaces it.

00:06:25.000 --> 00:06:29.999
[music]

00:06:30.000 --> 00:06:34.999
So why don\'t we just begin. Why don\'t
we just start by taking a live.

00:06:35.000 --> 00:06:39.999
Another moon only things

00:06:40.000 --> 00:06:44.999
how slowed is all lone waves. Four
days (inaudible) themselves the night.

00:06:45.000 --> 00:06:49.999
Four nights we quickly dream away the time

00:06:50.000 --> 00:06:54.999
and moon like to a silver bow. New Ben… Ben

00:06:55.000 --> 00:06:59.999
to Evan, Shao the whole
night to (inaudible).

00:07:00.000 --> 00:07:04.999
I didn\'t get a sense that anyone was
too comfortable walking around.

00:07:05.000 --> 00:07:09.999
No, at all. Now I\'m not sure what. I know.

00:07:10.000 --> 00:07:14.999
Like are we gonna do complete versions
play, I… I don\'t know there\'s selections…

00:07:15.000 --> 00:07:19.999
Oh, good you have to spend the next six
weeks confronting our own mortality.

00:07:20.000 --> 00:07:28.000
[music]

00:07:40.000 --> 00:07:44.999
Here we go to get our lunch (inaudible).

00:07:45.000 --> 00:07:49.999
What starving? Today\'s activities,

00:07:50.000 --> 00:07:54.999
oh, my goodness look at all that good stuff,
that\'s terrific. The menu is up there.

00:07:55.000 --> 00:07:59.999
Huh, my goodness.

00:08:00.000 --> 00:08:04.999
Terrific. Oh, wonderful. Here we go.

00:08:05.000 --> 00:08:09.999
Charlotte may bear a child.

00:08:10.000 --> 00:08:14.999
June 3rd 1930, you figure it out.

00:08:15.000 --> 00:08:19.999
I must be 50,

00:08:20.000 --> 00:08:24.999
60 something, 70,

00:08:25.000 --> 00:08:29.999
am I 70? I could be.

00:08:30.000 --> 00:08:34.999
Cheery pie or merry?
Pie, ice cream or both.

00:08:35.000 --> 00:08:39.999
Shakespeare is not mine, I\'m
a song and dance person.

00:08:40.000 --> 00:08:44.999
Oh, it is beautiful it\'s a classic, it\'s
lovely but I\'m used to song and dance,

00:08:45.000 --> 00:08:49.999
you know, this is tough.

00:08:50.000 --> 00:08:54.999
I\'d love to try Shakespeare but
it would take me a long time

00:08:55.000 --> 00:08:59.999
to get into the feel of it in you know,
the atmosphere. I\'ve just… I\'ve not been

00:09:00.000 --> 00:09:04.999
in it that much I\'ve never you
know, gotten my feet in it.

00:09:05.000 --> 00:09:13.000
[sil.]

00:09:15.000 --> 00:09:19.999
I don\'t feel like I\'m retired,

00:09:20.000 --> 00:09:24.999
I feel like I could play any
role if it came my way.

00:09:25.000 --> 00:09:29.999
Sometimes the guts of a tree
can have interesting texture

00:09:30.000 --> 00:09:34.999
and yeah, if you can get a piece that\'s large
enough you might be an interesting piece of art,

00:09:35.000 --> 00:09:39.999
you know, Natural Art.

00:09:40.000 --> 00:09:44.999
I often go around looking at places,

00:09:45.000 --> 00:09:49.999
you know, fungus, mushrooms,

00:09:50.000 --> 00:09:54.999
you know, if I find when that\'s allergy
could be a quite a thing to look at

00:09:55.000 --> 00:09:59.999
you know, as texture and color
sometimes interesting color.

00:10:00.000 --> 00:10:04.999
[sil.]

00:10:05.000 --> 00:10:09.999
And, of course, I\'m
always picking up stones.

00:10:10.000 --> 00:10:14.999
I grew up in New York City,

00:10:15.000 --> 00:10:19.999
I was born right on 42nd Street.

00:10:20.000 --> 00:10:24.999
I was lucky that somehow I was able to get
involved with very good theatre people

00:10:25.000 --> 00:10:29.999
and I became a member
of the Actor\'s Studio.

00:10:30.000 --> 00:10:34.999
There is where I got the greatness
of… of the old Group Theatre,

00:10:35.000 --> 00:10:39.999
the teachers like (inaudible)

00:10:40.000 --> 00:10:44.999
people like Lee Strasberg,

00:10:45.000 --> 00:10:49.999
who to hog and.

00:10:50.000 --> 00:10:54.999
What\'s going on? I still hope

00:10:55.000 --> 00:10:59.999
that I can make something of myself

00:11:00.000 --> 00:11:04.999
that people will remember.

00:11:05.000 --> 00:11:09.999
[music]

00:11:10.000 --> 00:11:14.999
Seems to me that yet we speak, we dream.

00:11:15.000 --> 00:11:19.999
Let\'s recount our dreams.

00:11:20.000 --> 00:11:24.999
Wow, and I suggest

00:11:25.000 --> 00:11:29.999
the fairies are dancing around
these four sleeping lovers.

00:11:30.000 --> 00:11:34.999
To play, it is really a marvelous.

00:11:35.000 --> 00:11:39.999
I think it\'s great. I really think it\'s
good, it creates other problems as well

00:11:40.000 --> 00:11:44.999
but it wakes people up it truly wakes and
make… make them think deadly command.

00:11:45.000 --> 00:11:49.999
Instead of sort of sitting all
the time watching TV you know,

00:11:50.000 --> 00:11:54.999
I say like playing bingo which is I
suppose most mindless game you think of.

00:11:55.000 --> 00:11:59.999
Hermes says, me thinks I see
these things with parted eye

00:12:00.000 --> 00:12:04.999
when everything seems double. Are you
seeing what I\'m seeing, are you?

00:12:05.000 --> 00:12:09.999
You said literally seeing double… Yeah.
Literally, yeah.

00:12:10.000 --> 00:12:14.999
Well, I do see my eye (inaudible) echos
double, you know… Yeah. Floats around.

00:12:15.000 --> 00:12:19.999
I think they\'re saying it\'s literally that thing that you\'re
describing a kind of medical thing but it\'s also perspective.

00:12:20.000 --> 00:12:24.999
The trouble is I can\'t see to read at all
no matter what, I can\'t use a script

00:12:25.000 --> 00:12:29.999
like some people might do that\'s why
I had to give up acting actually.

00:12:30.000 --> 00:12:34.999
It was enforced retirement so to speak.

00:12:35.000 --> 00:12:39.999
And used to think oh,
well I\'m definitely one

00:12:40.000 --> 00:12:44.999
of those people I want to die with my Booz Allen but this
is a great place to be considering I can\'t be in doing it

00:12:45.000 --> 00:12:49.999
or at it some people say.

00:12:50.000 --> 00:12:54.999
[music]

00:12:55.000 --> 00:12:59.999
The facility itself is

00:13:00.000 --> 00:13:04.999
skilled nursing and assisted living
facility. Being the Actors Fund Homes

00:13:05.000 --> 00:13:09.999
or dealing with people that were actors and
actresses as well as really all walks of life

00:13:10.000 --> 00:13:14.999
around the entertainment world some
of them were behind the scenes,

00:13:15.000 --> 00:13:19.999
some of them have family members
in the entertainment industry.

00:13:20.000 --> 00:13:24.999
Some of our resonance, we\'re the celebrity
maybe not in today\'s standards certainly

00:13:25.000 --> 00:13:29.999
30, 40 years ago or
significant performer actors.

00:13:30.000 --> 00:13:34.999
There\'s some trepidation, some nervousness
you know, that some of those questions

00:13:35.000 --> 00:13:39.999
that we\'ve had internally amongst my staff is
what can we really expect out of the resonance

00:13:40.000 --> 00:13:44.999
and have them engaged for six weeks pretty
much every day it\'s gonna be a lot from them.

00:13:45.000 --> 00:13:49.999
All right. Are we memorizing these…

00:13:50.000 --> 00:13:54.999
We… we.

00:13:55.000 --> 00:13:59.999
No, I\'m just asking because some people will have… Diff
questions that some people will have difficultly in memory…

00:14:00.000 --> 00:14:04.999
(inaudible) some people are
you talking about yourself.

00:14:05.000 --> 00:14:09.999
You want to play bottom without memorizing
it. Of course, I\'m gonna memorize it.

00:14:10.000 --> 00:14:14.999
Why do you ask, do I have to memorize?

00:14:15.000 --> 00:14:19.999
What the hell kind of acting is that, of course
you have to memorize. Okay. All right, gentlemen.

00:14:20.000 --> 00:14:24.999
Okay, from our point of view,

00:14:25.000 --> 00:14:29.999
it is not important to us, we
believe, we know you can act

00:14:30.000 --> 00:14:34.999
without having memorized your lines because
we\'ve seen it now for over a week.

00:14:35.000 --> 00:14:39.999
I haven\'t seen any of that. Well, your
standards may be different than ours. Yes.

00:14:40.000 --> 00:14:44.999
We haven\'t even started to attempt to act.
I know that\'s why it\'s far premature

00:14:45.000 --> 00:14:49.999
to assume that memorization is what\'s required
to get active going and I understand Aideen,

00:14:50.000 --> 00:14:54.999
you have strong feelings about that, I understand
(inaudible) feelings about that. Yeah, I\'m a (inaudible).

00:14:55.000 --> 00:14:59.999
I understand and we hope that you will memorize if you
want to memorize, not being memorized is not going to be

00:15:00.000 --> 00:15:04.999
a stumbling block or a
problem in this production.

00:15:05.000 --> 00:15:13.000
[music]

00:15:40.000 --> 00:15:48.000
[sil.]

00:15:55.000 --> 00:15:59.999
So Lynette, do you have a background in
performance or in the arts or what\'s your?

00:16:00.000 --> 00:16:04.999
No, but my family does. Oh good, good.
It\'s a song lend to me.

00:16:05.000 --> 00:16:09.999
So why don\'t we just

00:16:10.000 --> 00:16:14.999
jump in reading some parts here, okay.
Act one scene one, go ahead Lynette.

00:16:15.000 --> 00:16:19.999
If there were sympathy in choice,

00:16:20.000 --> 00:16:24.999
war, death or sickness,
did lay siege to it,

00:16:25.000 --> 00:16:29.999
making it momentarily, moment,
momentary as a sound,

00:16:30.000 --> 00:16:34.999
swift as a shadow, shore as any dream.

00:16:35.000 --> 00:16:39.999
Well, I\'m 68 and I would
really like to have the nerve

00:16:40.000 --> 00:16:44.999
to pick up and do something
I\'ve never done for.

00:16:45.000 --> 00:16:49.999
Nothing, it\'s people unlike me are real
artists, they really played on Broadway

00:16:50.000 --> 00:16:54.999
we\'ve done many things and
they\'ve still got it in them.

00:16:55.000 --> 00:16:59.999
I want to do this

00:17:00.000 --> 00:17:04.999
so well but the Ben and Noah will
say good job, that\'s my call.

00:17:05.000 --> 00:17:09.999
So how is it going? So far so good.

00:17:10.000 --> 00:17:14.999
Great, having lot of fun. I think it\'s gonna
be a good show. Oh, I\'m sure it will be.

00:17:15.000 --> 00:17:19.999
Yeah, that Shakespeare\'s pretty good.
He may have a future. I think so.

00:17:20.000 --> 00:17:24.999
Good to see you, see you soon.
Good afternoon. Okay.

00:17:25.000 --> 00:17:29.999
Thank you.

00:17:30.000 --> 00:17:38.000
[music]

00:17:45.000 --> 00:17:49.999
Good morning. Morning. Does everyone
know the plot of this play?

00:17:50.000 --> 00:17:54.999
Maybe a brief description
of the characters…

00:17:55.000 --> 00:17:59.999
Yeah, sure. Hermia and Lysander in love but their
love is forbidden. Helena is in love with Demetrius

00:18:00.000 --> 00:18:04.999
but Demetrius loves her Hermia.

00:18:05.000 --> 00:18:09.999
Everybody loves the wrong person kinda thing.
What you have is basically four lovers

00:18:10.000 --> 00:18:14.999
in the forest. In the meantime in the forest
are a roaring King and Queen of fairies,

00:18:15.000 --> 00:18:19.999
Oberon and Titania, the
rulers of the magical realm.

00:18:20.000 --> 00:18:24.999
They intercede in this lovers quartet

00:18:25.000 --> 00:18:29.999
by using love potions and that goes around.

00:18:30.000 --> 00:18:34.999
And then there\'s a third group

00:18:35.000 --> 00:18:39.999
of people who were in the woods also a
very enthusiastic community theater group,

00:18:40.000 --> 00:18:44.999
the rehearsal of their play gets wrapped
up in the love potion situation.

00:18:45.000 --> 00:18:49.999
Oberon uses pop to turn one of
these laborers bought up into,

00:18:50.000 --> 00:18:54.999
a man of the masses tag. And gets Titania to
fall in love with him. So it all makes sense.

00:18:55.000 --> 00:18:59.999
I\'m not completely confused. Yeah, but
I think that one help. You will be.

00:19:00.000 --> 00:19:04.999
The other thing that I think is maybe worth
pointing out here that jumps out at me

00:19:05.000 --> 00:19:09.999
is there\'s a lot more darkness and confusion
that accompanies all of this stuff

00:19:10.000 --> 00:19:14.999
which makes it funny for us but for
the people who are experiencing it,

00:19:15.000 --> 00:19:19.999
it\'s kinda terrifying subject. Let me go
and check, maybe in the computer room.

00:19:20.000 --> 00:19:24.999
Okay, call the medicos too. Okay.

00:19:25.000 --> 00:19:29.999
[sil.]

00:19:30.000 --> 00:19:34.999
I wasn\'t prepared for this.

00:19:35.000 --> 00:19:39.999
Okay.

00:19:40.000 --> 00:19:44.999
Have been in and out of this
home probably six times.

00:19:45.000 --> 00:19:49.999
I come here and I stay awhile and
then I leave. You forget that one.

00:19:50.000 --> 00:19:54.999
At a certain point I… I just feel like I\'m okay
glory you need to get outta here, thank you.

00:19:55.000 --> 00:19:59.999
[music]

00:20:00.000 --> 00:20:04.999
Leaving your homes is a little bit strange,
you know, if it\'s out of the real world.

00:20:05.000 --> 00:20:09.999
I spend a lot of time alone

00:20:10.000 --> 00:20:14.999
started quite early in my
life I think I was alone

00:20:15.000 --> 00:20:19.999
and part of that was my height. Hey Gloria.

00:20:20.000 --> 00:20:24.999
Where do I sit? (inaudible).
What is my part?

00:20:25.000 --> 00:20:29.999
I like Shakespeare because it is a lot of
fun if let a (inaudible) be a lot of fun.

00:20:30.000 --> 00:20:34.999
Fool sees mortals (inaudible).

00:20:35.000 --> 00:20:39.999
I don\'t think I\'m going to get an agent
or something like that, you know,

00:20:40.000 --> 00:20:44.999
gonna be work on her
something, you know, sorry.

00:20:45.000 --> 00:20:49.999
Perfect, divine.

00:20:50.000 --> 00:20:54.999
So let\'s say that starting
just as met the characters

00:20:55.000 --> 00:20:59.999
if perhaps the most is our Oberon and Theseus.
Now we\'ll double those. And Hermia is wonderful.

00:21:00.000 --> 00:21:04.999
Potentially. Potentially, Gloria
just seems like (inaudible).

00:21:05.000 --> 00:21:09.999
Glory is fantastic but

00:21:10.000 --> 00:21:14.999
she\'s… she\'s been great at everything.
Yeah. She is kind of a born Heller.

00:21:15.000 --> 00:21:19.999
She is. They kinds fell the same way about
Charlotte that she could do anything.

00:21:20.000 --> 00:21:24.999
She\'s a… she\'s such a genius, Charlotte
is someone who couldn\'t make Park work.

00:21:25.000 --> 00:21:29.999
Yes. I mean we know how the world will be crushed immediately
bottom. I\'d like to give my shot at. So what I, okay.

00:21:30.000 --> 00:21:34.999
I love Bob as… Frisbee. Frisbee.

00:21:35.000 --> 00:21:39.999
What\'s funny to me is that I feel like if this was 50
years ago all of his casting would be exactly the same.

00:21:40.000 --> 00:21:48.000
[sil.]

00:21:50.000 --> 00:21:54.999
So we the couple quick citizen thoughts to
and questions for you as far as the casting.

00:21:55.000 --> 00:21:59.999
There are really two… two roles
that we\'re thinking of for you.

00:22:00.000 --> 00:22:04.999
So one of them is a GS and
the other is Peter Quince.

00:22:05.000 --> 00:22:09.999
Oh, that\'s the one I would choose myself.
Okay. Right.

00:22:10.000 --> 00:22:14.999
The question we have about
Quince is it\'s a lot of dialogue

00:22:15.000 --> 00:22:19.999
so would require however you work to
memorize it also means memorizing

00:22:20.000 --> 00:22:24.999
for those cues and being… being
able to do the dialogue.

00:22:25.000 --> 00:22:29.999
(inaudible). Yeah. I\'ve
already worked on that. Yes.

00:22:30.000 --> 00:22:34.999
Oh, yeah, wait they…they\'re going to… what they\'re
going to do is somebody\'s going to add record.

00:22:35.000 --> 00:22:39.999
That\'s right. (inaudible) sense of it and then learn it off
the tape. When will you be… will you in the production

00:22:40.000 --> 00:22:44.999
be able to rehearse those scenes actively
that\'s… that\'s really the question.

00:22:45.000 --> 00:22:49.999
Well, if you could do… that\'s a
never would a week be too much. No.

00:22:50.000 --> 00:22:55.000
Maybe a little longer then.

00:23:00.000 --> 00:23:04.999
Beginning of the play Lysander

00:23:05.000 --> 00:23:09.999
and Hermia are in love, Lysander
comes out as an honest man at times

00:23:10.000 --> 00:23:14.999
but then every time I think I understand the
character, shake spear\'s calling me out.

00:23:15.000 --> 00:23:19.999
I think he is honest, he is
very much in love with Hermia.

00:23:20.000 --> 00:23:24.999
Hermia always has to be on the defensive
and even at that she\'s taking a chance.

00:23:25.000 --> 00:23:29.999
She\'s taking a step she may not safely take

00:23:30.000 --> 00:23:34.999
because of her father.

00:23:35.000 --> 00:23:39.999
What he might do to Lysander and her.

00:23:40.000 --> 00:23:44.999
And you\'ve got a great line here
on page five, it\'s a one-liner.

00:23:45.000 --> 00:23:49.999
All hail. That\'s it… that\'s it.
To choose love by another\'s eyes.

00:23:50.000 --> 00:23:54.999
I like that line. What
you and I have to do now

00:23:55.000 --> 00:23:59.999
is take all life experiences and put it
into my characters here that is I hold…

00:24:00.000 --> 00:24:04.999
[music]

00:24:05.000 --> 00:24:09.999
My first love was not my love at all

00:24:10.000 --> 00:24:14.999
my parents had already set out

00:24:15.000 --> 00:24:19.999
that I would marry this man
and by the time I was 20,

00:24:20.000 --> 00:24:24.999
I had married him and I never loved him,

00:24:25.000 --> 00:24:29.999
I never loved him.

00:24:30.000 --> 00:24:34.999
How forceful your parents uh…
their thought was very apparent…

00:24:35.000 --> 00:24:39.999
My… my father was very forceful
so I bow to my parents wishes

00:24:40.000 --> 00:24:44.999
and married him,

00:24:45.000 --> 00:24:49.999
had five children and sure to have set
things go and the marriage didn\'t work out.

00:24:50.000 --> 00:24:54.999
That\'s unfortunate.

00:24:55.000 --> 00:24:59.999
[sil.] Actor\'s fun.

00:25:00.000 --> 00:25:04.999
Dimo, I\'m wondering on…
here on… on bottom of

00:25:05.000 --> 00:25:09.999
16 and 17. Oh, I\'d love to see a
version of this where the story

00:25:10.000 --> 00:25:14.999
about the mermaid on the dolphin\'s
back and all of that stuff

00:25:15.000 --> 00:25:19.999
is a little bit more positive,

00:25:20.000 --> 00:25:24.999
it\'s reading to me now is slightly scary
or something negative, I wonder… I wonder

00:25:25.000 --> 00:25:29.999
if we… we can make sure that this is… that this
was an amazing day, a wonderful day. Yeah.

00:25:30.000 --> 00:25:34.999
All right. Puck, that remembers
since once I sat upon (inaudible)

00:25:35.000 --> 00:25:39.999
and heard mermaid on a dolphin\'s back,

00:25:40.000 --> 00:25:44.999
(inaudible) says (inaudible)
harmonious breath

00:25:45.000 --> 00:25:49.999
that the very rude sea grew civil at a song

00:25:50.000 --> 00:25:54.999
and certain stars shot madly
from their spheres to hear,

00:25:55.000 --> 00:25:59.999
the seamaid\'s music.

00:26:00.000 --> 00:26:04.999
Ha! Ha!

00:26:05.000 --> 00:26:09.999
Now that\'s remembering.

00:26:10.000 --> 00:26:14.999
Now that very time.

00:26:15.000 --> 00:26:19.999
I saw now that goes smart.

00:26:20.000 --> 00:26:24.999
(inaudible) all armed,

00:26:25.000 --> 00:26:29.999
a certain aim he took

00:26:30.000 --> 00:26:34.999
at a (inaudible) thrown it by the west

00:26:35.000 --> 00:26:39.999
and loosed his love (inaudible).

00:26:40.000 --> 00:26:44.999
[music]

00:26:45.000 --> 00:26:49.999
Madly, madly from the sphere.
Certain stars shine,

00:26:50.000 --> 00:26:54.999
Looses love shine smartly from his bow

00:26:55.000 --> 00:26:59.999
as he should pierce

00:27:00.000 --> 00:27:04.999
100, 1,000 hearts. Yes. Yes.

00:27:05.000 --> 00:27:09.999
Unbelievable. Just amazing.

00:27:10.000 --> 00:27:14.999
That\'s reversal. Absolutely extraordinary both
of you. Best Puck and Oberon I\'ve ever seen.

00:27:15.000 --> 00:27:19.999
Most radiant Pyramus.

00:27:20.000 --> 00:27:24.999
Most lily white of hue.

00:27:25.000 --> 00:27:29.999
Come blade my breast and (inaudible).

00:27:30.000 --> 00:27:34.999
Here Peter Quince,

00:27:35.000 --> 00:27:39.999
Flute you must take is beyond you.

00:27:40.000 --> 00:27:44.999
What is we\'re wondering night.

00:27:45.000 --> 00:27:49.999
It is the lady that Pyramus must love.

00:27:50.000 --> 00:27:54.999
And (inaudible) faith,
let me not play a woman,

00:27:55.000 --> 00:27:59.999
I have the beard coming is.

00:28:00.000 --> 00:28:04.999
That doesn\'t get away of nothing well.

00:28:05.000 --> 00:28:09.999
This is… this is a Play
Bill for Damn Yankees.

00:28:10.000 --> 00:28:14.999
Bob (inaudible) came to me and he
said, \"Can you juggle?\" I said,

00:28:15.000 --> 00:28:19.999
\"Yes.\" I couldn\'t but I said, yes. He said,

00:28:20.000 --> 00:28:24.999
\"I\'d like you to (inaudible)
new show that I am doing.

00:28:25.000 --> 00:28:29.999
He said, \"I\'ve gotta have a dancer that
juggles.\" I said, \"Oh, that\'s me, Bob.\"

00:28:30.000 --> 00:28:35.000
So, you know, so I started learning how
to juggle. Yeah, that Damn Yankees.

00:28:45.000 --> 00:28:53.000
[music]

00:29:00.000 --> 00:29:04.999
That works.

00:29:05.000 --> 00:29:09.999
Yeah, that works. One of these songs might introduce
the play, the show. Is this an actual round?

00:29:10.000 --> 00:29:14.999
Yes. Wanna do it? I wanna grab a gene(ph).

00:29:15.000 --> 00:29:19.999
Oh! Come on! Come on! Are u serious?

00:29:20.000 --> 00:29:24.999
She\'s been doing this a long time.

00:29:25.000 --> 00:29:33.000
[music]

00:29:35.000 --> 00:29:39.999
This is it. This is it.

00:29:40.000 --> 00:29:44.999
This is what I am looking for?

00:29:45.000 --> 00:29:49.999
I\'m no a bank

00:29:50.000 --> 00:29:54.999
where the wild time blows

00:29:55.000 --> 00:29:59.999
where (inaudible)

00:30:00.000 --> 00:30:04.999
and the

00:30:05.000 --> 00:30:09.999
(inaudible) violet grows.

00:30:10.000 --> 00:30:14.999
With these (inaudible)

00:30:15.000 --> 00:30:19.999
eyes make a full of hateful fantasies.

00:30:20.000 --> 00:30:28.000
[sil.]

00:30:40.000 --> 00:30:44.999
There\'s something very, very
rudimentary about who you are

00:30:45.000 --> 00:30:49.999
when you\'re acting, who are
you, what do you want.

00:30:50.000 --> 00:30:54.999
What… what is it that you\'re
looking for, how do you feel,

00:30:55.000 --> 00:30:59.999
when you do it going to get what you want.

00:31:00.000 --> 00:31:08.000
[music]

00:31:20.000 --> 00:31:24.999
Who am I, I should speak, I should talk,
ask, speak, haul(ph) to nature, who am I?

00:31:25.000 --> 00:31:33.000
[sil.]

00:31:40.000 --> 00:31:44.999
The king

00:31:45.000 --> 00:31:49.999
of the fairy land.

00:31:50.000 --> 00:31:54.999
[sil.]

00:31:55.000 --> 00:31:59.999
I know, I know (inaudible).

00:32:00.000 --> 00:32:04.999
I mean, (inaudible). I know just
take one day of the time and…

00:32:05.000 --> 00:32:09.999
I feel terrible. I\'m so sorry.

00:32:10.000 --> 00:32:14.999
These pills I\'m taking prior to this little
operation (inaudible). I know just making me, just…

00:32:15.000 --> 00:32:19.999
You got nothing of the time. And I
have the tapes, the tape, I mean,

00:32:20.000 --> 00:32:24.999
the cue notes, CD on and we\'re going on this
(inaudible) now all the time, 24 hours, so it will be…

00:32:25.000 --> 00:32:29.999
Well, it (inaudible) entirely crazy
little, it will uh… (inaudible). Yeah.

00:32:30.000 --> 00:32:34.999
No, it\'s not even

00:32:35.000 --> 00:32:39.999
that is just I hope you\'re not… I\'m not
putting it through too far behind.

00:32:40.000 --> 00:32:44.999
No, I don\'t… I don\'t think so. Eventually,
we\'ll have to, you know, (inaudible)…

00:32:45.000 --> 00:32:49.999
Maybe if I have the next week… …Trying to figure
out, you know, how it can work around the meds.

00:32:50.000 --> 00:32:54.999
As soon as I know I\'ll tell you. All right,
see you tomorrow. What is up Gloria?

00:32:55.000 --> 00:32:59.999
I\'m leaving town for good.
Now I\'ll be here…

00:33:00.000 --> 00:33:04.999
This was a rumor, you
telling me it\'s true? Yes.

00:33:05.000 --> 00:33:09.999
Well, you\'re not… The good news is you\'re not leaving until August
though, right. No, it\'s not true either. Oh no, come on, really?

00:33:10.000 --> 00:33:14.999
Yeah. But I\'ll… I\'ll stay, you know,
work, whatever seems you want me.

00:33:15.000 --> 00:33:19.999
What\'s going on, where you going?

00:33:20.000 --> 00:33:24.999
Arizona to live. I have friend
who just have come and live.

00:33:25.000 --> 00:33:29.999
Will… will you still be friends with them
in August? I\'m sure they\'ll understand.

00:33:30.000 --> 00:33:34.999
Maybe. In all… in all seriousness.
Like in the play,

00:33:35.000 --> 00:33:39.999
I can tell right now, this is happening
or… or if it\'s some kind of nightmare.

00:33:40.000 --> 00:33:44.999
You know, I\'m just teasing. So your friend is coming to pick you
up or something, and then, you\'re gonna fly back there together.

00:33:45.000 --> 00:33:49.999
Yes. Yes. But I will certainly have…

00:33:50.000 --> 00:33:54.999
I would certainly have at least a week.
At least a week. Okay.

00:33:55.000 --> 00:33:59.999
All right. All right, let me talk to you
usually (inaudible) about tomorrow. Okay.

00:34:00.000 --> 00:34:04.999
And I\'m just gonna be in denial about everything you
told me. Great! Okay. Okay. Thanks, Gloria. Oh,

00:34:05.000 --> 00:34:09.999
how are you? This whole thing
is coming from the scenes.

00:34:10.000 --> 00:34:14.999
Umm… Eighty.

00:34:15.000 --> 00:34:19.999
Eighty. She always… some medical issues that (inaudible)
her a lot anxiety and making her really nervous about it.

00:34:20.000 --> 00:34:24.999
Yeah, she seems like her voice is kinda ragged and she
seems a little tired so I\'m wondering if… I mean,

00:34:25.000 --> 00:34:29.999
I told her like next week we need to start hearing her,
act a little bit because she hasn\'t acted at all yet.

00:34:30.000 --> 00:34:34.999
All right. All right. Let me let me ask you this other
thing. Gloria told me that she\'s moving… She\'s not moving.

00:34:35.000 --> 00:34:39.999
No. She\'s not moving.
That\'s only imagination.

00:34:40.000 --> 00:34:44.999
She thinks. And this is also
reflect on the past life is tired.

00:34:45.000 --> 00:34:49.999
She always move… When she used… Before she came to the
Actor Home so she\'s constantly saying \"I\'m moving\".

00:34:50.000 --> 00:34:54.999
It is not happening.

00:34:55.000 --> 00:34:59.999
She\'s not leaving. Well,
that\'s good news for us.

00:35:00.000 --> 00:35:04.999
It\'s bad news for her that she thinks she is
because I don\'t want it to be disappointed.

00:35:05.000 --> 00:35:09.999
Don\'t worry. She gonna go to bed today
and tomorrow we\'ll start again,

00:35:10.000 --> 00:35:14.999
maybe moving or maybe
something else that is okay.

00:35:15.000 --> 00:35:19.999
All right. How do you… how do you do this every day? That\'s…
Been… been doing for so many years, so just used to this.

00:35:20.000 --> 00:35:24.999
Yeah. All right, well.

00:35:25.000 --> 00:35:29.999
I admire you laugh.

00:35:30.000 --> 00:35:34.999
Well, I mean, I\'m… I feel like I\'m…
Now I feel like we\'re in a slightly…

00:35:35.000 --> 00:35:39.999
Now I feel like we\'re in a slightly odd position. You know, it\'s
always great to talk to Yalile because she\'s the one who knows,

00:35:40.000 --> 00:35:44.999
really knows what\'s happening. Umm… But I… I just feel
like we\'re operating on nine or ten different realities

00:35:45.000 --> 00:35:49.999
in this room at any given time.
You know, but it doesn\'t matter…

00:35:50.000 --> 00:35:54.999
What matters is that everyone here is
having an experienced as positive.

00:35:55.000 --> 00:35:59.999
So if anyone\'s experience starts to get negative that\'s what I feel
likely, we need to shift what we\'re doing or make some changes.

00:36:00.000 --> 00:36:04.999
It\'s… it\'s hard because yesterday
I felt like a very positive day.

00:36:05.000 --> 00:36:09.999
You know, a day where a lot of like interesting things
were happening, we\'re kind of moving forward and…

00:36:10.000 --> 00:36:14.999
But there\'s a significant percentage
of the people who are in this project

00:36:15.000 --> 00:36:19.999
that have so many different
issues that are colliding.

00:36:20.000 --> 00:36:24.999
I don\'t know what\'s weirder being Gloria telling me that she\'s
moving across the country tomorrow or finding out which she\'s not.

00:36:25.000 --> 00:36:29.999
Like I don\'t know what\'s… what\'s
harder to process. I don\'t know.

00:36:30.000 --> 00:36:34.999
We\'ll just dealing with
it but I don\'t know.

00:36:35.000 --> 00:36:39.999
I don\'t want to… I don\'t want to keep dealing with that. I
like to… I like to know what the fuck is going on. Oh God.

00:36:40.000 --> 00:36:48.000
[music]

00:37:10.000 --> 00:37:14.999
…At the end of the storm

00:37:15.000 --> 00:37:19.999
is a golden sky

00:37:20.000 --> 00:37:24.999
and a sweet silver son of the

00:37:25.000 --> 00:37:29.999
(inaudible).

00:37:30.000 --> 00:37:34.999
Walk on through the wind,

00:37:35.000 --> 00:37:39.999
walk on through the wing

00:37:40.000 --> 00:37:44.999
though dreams been tossed

00:37:45.000 --> 00:37:49.999
and blown,

00:37:50.000 --> 00:37:54.999
walk on,

00:37:55.000 --> 00:37:59.999
walk on with all in your heart

00:38:00.000 --> 00:38:04.999
and your (inaudible).

00:38:05.000 --> 00:38:13.000
[music]

00:38:35.000 --> 00:38:39.999
[sil.]

00:38:40.000 --> 00:38:44.999
When my (inaudible) comes calling me,

00:38:45.000 --> 00:38:49.999
and I will answer, Peter Quince

00:38:50.000 --> 00:38:54.999
(inaudible)

00:38:55.000 --> 00:38:59.999
scratch my head,

00:39:00.000 --> 00:39:04.999
I\'m moving it. With my eyes I cannot
hear, with my ears I cannot see.

00:39:05.000 --> 00:39:09.999
My hand cannot taste nor
my heart to conceive

00:39:10.000 --> 00:39:14.999
what my dream was. I will
call Peter Quince to tell him

00:39:15.000 --> 00:39:19.999
it was a… it was (inaudible) dreams.

00:39:20.000 --> 00:39:24.999
I don\'t even remember a (inaudible) dream.

00:39:25.000 --> 00:39:29.999
(inaudible) can\'t trust his senses here,

00:39:30.000 --> 00:39:34.999
which I would imagine is incredibly
frightening. If you actually have an experience

00:39:35.000 --> 00:39:39.999
where you cannot trust fully what you are
seeing or be sure of what you\'re hearing,

00:39:40.000 --> 00:39:44.999
it seems to me that yet we sleep, we dream,

00:39:45.000 --> 00:39:49.999
that we\'re still dreaming. This is a…
In my opinion, this is another version

00:39:50.000 --> 00:39:54.999
of just scrambling the world of our
perceptions. Did this thing happen?

00:39:55.000 --> 00:39:59.999
Well, it happened for us because
we saw it but (inaudible)

00:40:00.000 --> 00:40:04.999
believes it was just a dream. How do
we know if what we are experiencing

00:40:05.000 --> 00:40:09.999
is the real thing or the imagined thing?

00:40:10.000 --> 00:40:14.999
That\'s frankly incredibly frightening.

00:40:15.000 --> 00:40:23.000
[music]

00:40:40.000 --> 00:40:44.999
This is tough. (inaudible) a little tough.
It\'s hard to cut this stuff. It is hard.

00:40:45.000 --> 00:40:49.999
I mean, it\'s… it\'s good stuff and it\'s
pretty tight. You can\'t just cut a section.

00:40:50.000 --> 00:40:54.999
I mean, there\'s so much opportunities
here if they can make it happen.

00:40:55.000 --> 00:40:59.999
Right. It may all fall apart.

00:41:00.000 --> 00:41:04.999
There\'s no way it can\'t fall apart though.

00:41:05.000 --> 00:41:09.999
This was pretty rough today though. I mean, just
they were not understanding where the (inaudible)…

00:41:10.000 --> 00:41:14.999
Yeah, this was tough. You know, the themes that
have come up and I think have been really useful

00:41:15.000 --> 00:41:19.999
for anchoring the production our perspective.
The difference between something that happened

00:41:20.000 --> 00:41:24.999
and something that might have happened or something
that you dream and something that you experienced.

00:41:25.000 --> 00:41:29.999
And then maybe just cut the rest out.

00:41:30.000 --> 00:41:34.999
And so it\'s just a reminder that any
experience you have is your truth.

00:41:35.000 --> 00:41:43.000
[sil.]

00:41:45.000 --> 00:41:49.999
I should make a name for
myself on the marketplace.

00:41:50.000 --> 00:41:54.999
I very rarely made living as an actor.

00:41:55.000 --> 00:41:59.999
I… I felt,

00:42:00.000 --> 00:42:04.999
you know, everything was a grinding,

00:42:05.000 --> 00:42:09.999
you know, you know, a
kind of why not… why not.

00:42:10.000 --> 00:42:14.999
Why didn\'t I get it, you know.
Okay. Try again. Try again.

00:42:15.000 --> 00:42:19.999
One son Richard the Third, I
did Clarence that brother.

00:42:20.000 --> 00:42:24.999
I always wanted to do that part
and I got to do it in Dallas.

00:42:25.000 --> 00:42:29.999
But it\'s the most important place in New York
City was out of my reach somehow, you know.

00:42:30.000 --> 00:42:34.999
He\'s very, you know,

00:42:35.000 --> 00:42:39.999
he\'s terrifying shy actually
at the back of the door.

00:42:40.000 --> 00:42:44.999
But now he chats away to me in the hall

00:42:45.000 --> 00:42:49.999
because he found a… a mutual talking point.

00:42:50.000 --> 00:42:54.999
It\'s like, you can\'t change it. Let me see.
Gloria, she was very, very closed off.

00:42:55.000 --> 00:42:59.999
And then, now she\'s bright.

00:43:00.000 --> 00:43:04.999
Right. Oh hell, I see you all are been
to set against me for your merriment.

00:43:05.000 --> 00:43:09.999
If you were civil and no courtesies,

00:43:10.000 --> 00:43:14.999
you would not do me thus much injury.

00:43:15.000 --> 00:43:19.999
And is it just made her just be straight into
all. She was… she\'s changed a lot for the better.

00:43:20.000 --> 00:43:24.999
Something seems to happen to you… That is…

00:43:25.000 --> 00:43:29.999
(inaudible) seem sort of sad really,

00:43:30.000 --> 00:43:34.999
you know, because my whole soul
is in the… in the business.

00:43:35.000 --> 00:43:39.999
And I see all the memories it started
bringing back too, that\'s also same.

00:43:40.000 --> 00:43:44.999
Yeah, that\'s the way the cookie
grumbles to roll with it.

00:43:45.000 --> 00:43:53.000
[music]

00:43:55.000 --> 00:43:59.999
Okay, Charlotte. Dimo
brought these posters. Yes.

00:44:00.000 --> 00:44:04.999
Those love of stuffing(ph) it Charlotte.
Wow! But this is for the second street…

00:44:05.000 --> 00:44:09.999
Forty Second Street.

00:44:10.000 --> 00:44:14.999
This gotta be you. Yeah.
Is this a star? Mm-hmm.

00:44:15.000 --> 00:44:19.999
Well, beautiful. And here the dance?

00:44:20.000 --> 00:44:24.999
Oh yeah. Oh, that was a great cast.
Good cast.

00:44:25.000 --> 00:44:29.999
Oh yes. They sang, they
dance, they did everything.

00:44:30.000 --> 00:44:34.999
And you are in the cast?

00:44:35.000 --> 00:44:39.999
Yeah. Okay. That\'s very nice.

00:44:40.000 --> 00:44:44.999
Let\'s see what else we have in the bag. I think
you have this T-shirt and Angela Lansbury

00:44:45.000 --> 00:44:49.999
Angelina. She was wonderful.
I was her stand-by.

00:44:50.000 --> 00:44:54.999
Okay. And what part she played? Mame.

00:44:55.000 --> 00:44:59.999
Okay. She was the lead
and I was her standby.

00:45:00.000 --> 00:45:04.999
So that you actually get to play the part
when she was aware or something like that.

00:45:05.000 --> 00:45:09.999
Oh yeah. Yeah. Okay. Yeah. So would
she dance, sing… She danced, sang…

00:45:10.000 --> 00:45:14.999
Oh, why don\'t you… me… see some dance, you know… Oh no. Come on. Show me
some… Oh, I\'m so… I\'m so willing to learn from you. I say you\'re my teacher.

00:45:15.000 --> 00:45:20.000
Give me this step that
you would show me to do.

00:45:30.000 --> 00:45:34.999
That\'s it. That\'s it.

00:45:35.000 --> 00:45:39.999
It\'s time for the latest news
from (inaudible) culture desk.

00:45:40.000 --> 00:45:44.999
It\'s the summer fixture in central park.

00:45:45.000 --> 00:45:49.999
Long lines for the pre tickets to Shakespeare in
the park. Couple of reasons we wanted to do this.

00:45:50.000 --> 00:45:54.999
One is for the pleasure working on the play.
It\'s a play we had never worked on before.

00:45:55.000 --> 00:45:59.999
Also, you know, we knew
would be a great challenge.

00:46:00.000 --> 00:46:04.999
This play invites physical romp
sex bars but that\'s not possible

00:46:05.000 --> 00:46:09.999
in many ways with this production. I know that I\'m
getting to hear the play the way I never heard before.

00:46:10.000 --> 00:46:14.999
I think maybe our audience will get a very
different experience a Midsummer Night\'s Dream.

00:46:15.000 --> 00:46:19.999
We do everything we can to keep

00:46:20.000 --> 00:46:24.999
the darkness out of our lives it seems.
And some

00:46:25.000 --> 00:46:29.999
of that means pretending as though we don\'t get old. Fighting
it. Pretending as though we\'re not going to die one day.

00:46:30.000 --> 00:46:34.999
Maybe for someone like Dimo,

00:46:35.000 --> 00:46:39.999
why not go for it in a big way.
We\'re gonna wait for the next time,

00:46:40.000 --> 00:46:44.999
those are lessons for us to take away,
which is you only get so many shots.

00:46:45.000 --> 00:46:53.000
[sil.]

00:46:55.000 --> 00:46:59.999
So the moments arrived, we\'re there.

00:47:00.000 --> 00:47:04.999
How you doing, Aideen? Okay.

00:47:05.000 --> 00:47:09.999
Yeah. How are you… how does… how does
it go with the lines? The so-so.

00:47:10.000 --> 00:47:14.999
So we\'d like to give this first meeting of Quince
bottom-up crack. How do you feel about that?

00:47:15.000 --> 00:47:19.999
We do rehearse the scene. I\'m not
interested… I\'m not ready for it.

00:47:20.000 --> 00:47:24.999
I\'d love to do it but…

00:47:25.000 --> 00:47:29.999
Mm-hmm. All right. Let me talk a better… Yeah. Of course, you gonna
take five for one second. Okay. So we gotta do something because…

00:47:30.000 --> 00:47:34.999
We gotta over rehearse. Gotta be able
to work on those things, you know.

00:47:35.000 --> 00:47:39.999
I mean, I\'m thinking about
how to make a switch here.

00:47:40.000 --> 00:47:44.999
So what we\'re gonna do for now is for
now so that we can reverse this scene

00:47:45.000 --> 00:47:49.999
is Ben and I are gonna
trade off on the lines

00:47:50.000 --> 00:47:54.999
of Quince so that we can have a chance to hear those
lines and rehearse the scenes that Quince\'s begin…

00:47:55.000 --> 00:47:59.999
Yeah, all right. Thanks for your patience
on us. We just… we want to give…

00:48:00.000 --> 00:48:04.999
Oh, it\'s me… it\'s me… I\'m
frustrated as hell. Sure, yeah.

00:48:05.000 --> 00:48:09.999
The raging rocks and shivering
shocks shall break the locks

00:48:10.000 --> 00:48:14.999
of prison gates and (inaudible)…

00:48:15.000 --> 00:48:19.999
Aideen, this is interesting. Feel free to keep
exploring physically while we do this and if…

00:48:20.000 --> 00:48:24.999
if a line jumps into your head I guess. Okay.
Yes, I loved the behavior of all of that

00:48:25.000 --> 00:48:29.999
so keep experimenting with that and we\'ll…
we\'ll see what we can do. Harold. Yes.

00:48:30.000 --> 00:48:34.999
We want to start to figure out if bottom… what Bottom\'s physical
life is during this, so now that we\'ve gone through it,

00:48:35.000 --> 00:48:39.999
we\'ll… we\'ll start experimenting with that. If he
starts following me around just today, hey, listen,

00:48:40.000 --> 00:48:44.999
I can do that and I can do this and
I can do this and then… Oh, shit.

00:48:45.000 --> 00:48:49.999
Fuck off. So I mean, I hear you say, I
think I think what\'s… what\'s great about

00:48:50.000 --> 00:48:55.000
that Aideen is what you\'re basically saying is… What Aideen
basically saying Harold is… What Aideen is saying Harold…

00:49:00.000 --> 00:49:04.999
She\'s giving you permission

00:49:05.000 --> 00:49:09.999
to do whatever the hell you want.
Let\'s see what happens. Ready.

00:49:10.000 --> 00:49:14.999
I could play (inaudible) rally or a pond

00:49:15.000 --> 00:49:19.999
to tear a cat into a uh… make… a make…

00:49:20.000 --> 00:49:24.999
To make all split Oh, make all split.

00:49:25.000 --> 00:49:29.999
Good. Now give us your performance
of your case now. Raging rocks,

00:49:30.000 --> 00:49:34.999
shivering shocks shall bring the

00:49:35.000 --> 00:49:43.000
(inaudible)

00:49:45.000 --> 00:49:49.999
it is now shall shine from a
pond, I can hit (inaudible) too

00:49:50.000 --> 00:49:54.999
and making (inaudible) the foolish states,

00:49:55.000 --> 00:49:59.999
I will (inaudible) that I
will make the Duke say,

00:50:00.000 --> 00:50:04.999
\"Let him roar again. Let him roar again.\"

00:50:05.000 --> 00:50:09.999
No. No. No. No. Don\'t hurt each other. Don\'t hurt
me. No choking, don\'t hurt each other. Fine.

00:50:10.000 --> 00:50:14.999
Because we\'ll both fall down. No looking down,
no looking (inaudible). She was acting. Good.

00:50:15.000 --> 00:50:19.999
Okay.

00:50:20.000 --> 00:50:24.999
Thank you, everybody. Thank you. I\'m just so sorry, I\'m
creating all these problems. Guys you\'re very patient.

00:50:25.000 --> 00:50:29.999
That\'s okay. Well, you know we just…
we just want to try to divide it up

00:50:30.000 --> 00:50:34.999
into small enough bites for you, so that
you can say I\'m gonna learn this scene,

00:50:35.000 --> 00:50:39.999
rather than feeling like you have to learn the whole role, which ones, you
want the first scene and the second scene, so that we can, zero in on.

00:50:40.000 --> 00:50:44.999
So the physical stuff and your impulses
in your work, it\'s all brilliant. Yeah.

00:50:45.000 --> 00:50:49.999
You know, you are… you are brilliant.

00:50:50.000 --> 00:50:58.000
[music]

00:51:10.000 --> 00:51:14.999
Hey, love you, think was wandering in the wood.
And to speak to us, I have forgotten away.

00:51:15.000 --> 00:51:19.999
Keep moving. We\'ll rest us Hermia, if you take it
good and (inaudible) for the comfort of the day.

00:51:20.000 --> 00:51:24.999
Keep… keep moving… keep
moving around circle.

00:51:25.000 --> 00:51:29.999
Okay, don\'t stop.

00:51:30.000 --> 00:51:34.999
If so Lysander, find you out
the bed, (inaudible) bank…

00:51:35.000 --> 00:51:39.999
This bank is your chair, so identify your
chair is this bank. Your chair. Okay.

00:51:40.000 --> 00:51:44.999
For I upon this bank will rest my head.

00:51:45.000 --> 00:51:49.999
You could leave, you can leave John behind.

00:51:50.000 --> 00:51:54.999
Well, turf(ph), she\'ll serve
as pillow for us both.

00:51:55.000 --> 00:51:59.999
Oh, you take the seat now. Good.
Now John can pursue around.

00:52:00.000 --> 00:52:04.999
I have one question. Yeah.

00:52:05.000 --> 00:52:09.999
When I\'m moving around the stage, I don\'t
know if I\'m doing something proper or

00:52:10.000 --> 00:52:14.999
what I\'m supposed to do or if sometimes

00:52:15.000 --> 00:52:19.999
I\'m like shouldn\'t be where I am. It\'s okay to not
know if what you\'re doing is the right thing.

00:52:20.000 --> 00:52:24.999
But we want you to feel comfortable
to experiment, be brave, take risks

00:52:25.000 --> 00:52:29.999
and chances in connecting fully, intellectually
and emotionally with what you\'re saying.

00:52:30.000 --> 00:52:34.999
And I have one more question. There\'s
singing here that I play with Dimo

00:52:35.000 --> 00:52:39.999
and he\'s yelling at me or something…
In the beginning? Yeah. Right.

00:52:40.000 --> 00:52:44.999
And it makes me want to cry. Yeah.

00:52:45.000 --> 00:52:49.999
Are we allowed… we can do that?
Of course. Yes.

00:52:50.000 --> 00:52:58.000
[sil.]

00:53:10.000 --> 00:53:14.999
Are we losing people in my imagination?

00:53:15.000 --> 00:53:19.999
Gloria, glory to the new (inaudible).
Gloria.

00:53:20.000 --> 00:53:24.999
Good morning. Good morning, Gloria. Good
morning. All right. What\'s the company.

00:53:25.000 --> 00:53:29.999
Yes. I could talk, starting to distance yourself. (inaudible).
Not showing up for the rehearsal. I… I\'m leaving the home.

00:53:30.000 --> 00:53:38.000
[sil.]

00:53:40.000 --> 00:53:44.999
You know what\'s happening with her?
Right now, no.

00:53:45.000 --> 00:53:49.999
I thought (inaudible) lying
in her bedroom. Okay.

00:53:50.000 --> 00:53:54.999
It literally looks like somebody just got her out of bed, so
maybe… She\'s getting breakfast or maybe her meds or something?

00:53:55.000 --> 00:53:59.999
Could be. Up you go. Act three, scene two.

00:54:00.000 --> 00:54:04.999
Well, we need Gloria. It wouldn\'t make
sense (inaudible) where Gloria goes,

00:54:05.000 --> 00:54:09.999
we want four bodies here.
(inaudible) I\'m leaving the home.

00:54:10.000 --> 00:54:14.999
Yes, I understand that. Yes. Will you
be joining us now for reversal though?

00:54:15.000 --> 00:54:19.999
I\'m packing my room. No. Okay.

00:54:20.000 --> 00:54:24.999
Whoever replaces me, they\'re
wearing a white shirt.

00:54:25.000 --> 00:54:29.999
Yes. Maybe a little tall. And be very tall.

00:54:30.000 --> 00:54:34.999
All right, well. Why don\'t you have
this month and then we\'ll see if

00:54:35.000 --> 00:54:39.999
we can maybe get you in for a little while.

00:54:40.000 --> 00:54:44.999
I\'m… I\'m inundated in my room.

00:54:45.000 --> 00:54:49.999
Really?

00:54:50.000 --> 00:54:54.999
Yeah. Packing and stuff like that.

00:54:55.000 --> 00:54:59.999
Okay. Well, we\'ll figure something
out then. Okay, somebody tall.

00:55:00.000 --> 00:55:04.999
Okay. So this is a new situation in a way and
it is a very new version of it. I never…

00:55:05.000 --> 00:55:09.999
She\'s never said, \"I can\'t be at rehearsal because I\'m busy getting ready to go. Right. I have an urgent situation
with Gloria. I think she\'s at this moment, she\'s like packing her things, like she\'s like gonna leave the facility.

00:55:10.000 --> 00:55:14.999
(inaudible). She said she will be up to speak
with her. Okay. Well, thank you. Okay.

00:55:15.000 --> 00:55:19.999
[music]

00:55:20.000 --> 00:55:24.999
Couple of tough days with Gloria.

00:55:25.000 --> 00:55:29.999
When she has bad days
she suppresses herself

00:55:30.000 --> 00:55:34.999
and apparently doesn\'t eat and doesn\'t
drink. She\'s such a strong actor

00:55:35.000 --> 00:55:39.999
that it could be a big blow
if we were to lose her.

00:55:40.000 --> 00:55:48.000
[music]

00:56:00.000 --> 00:56:04.999
After the whole thing done over Thursday,

00:56:05.000 --> 00:56:09.999
in two weeks time I have to go in
there and if I stay in the hospital.

00:56:10.000 --> 00:56:14.999
Stay in the hospital? In the hospital.
So it looks like I just bring that…

00:56:15.000 --> 00:56:19.999
that is taking the hell out of me.
Yeah. Yeah. Yeah.

00:56:20.000 --> 00:56:24.999
I just have to (inaudible). I can\'t do it.

00:56:25.000 --> 00:56:29.999
Okay. Okay. Yeah. No, we… we… we understand.
I mean… It\'s a shame. Come visit…

00:56:30.000 --> 00:56:34.999
I won\'t come back. Really sure I
won\'t be around all the time.

00:56:35.000 --> 00:56:39.999
Okay, great. Thanks, Aideen. All right.
Uh… Mary? Check you for… for few minutes.

00:56:40.000 --> 00:56:44.999
You may have… you may have gotten
more than you bargained for it.

00:56:45.000 --> 00:56:49.999
We wanted to see… Well, Noah?

00:56:50.000 --> 00:56:54.999
Thanks, Ben. Well, we\'re… we\'re thinking about… I mean, (inaudible)
may… may very well be a role that we asked you to play,

00:56:55.000 --> 00:56:59.999
but there\'s actually a larger role

00:57:00.000 --> 00:57:04.999
that would be something more of a commitment
on your part but we\'d be interested in hearing

00:57:05.000 --> 00:57:09.999
you play around with that role
for a bit if you\'re interested.

00:57:10.000 --> 00:57:14.999
I don\'t know… I don\'t know what this is all about.
This is the role of someone who\'s basically trying…

00:57:15.000 --> 00:57:19.999
She\'s… she\'s like the director of the play, trying
desperately to keep… keep the planning… to keep it going

00:57:20.000 --> 00:57:24.999
and basically she\'s got a
bunch of unruly actors

00:57:25.000 --> 00:57:29.999
that she\'s gotta… kinda… kinda… sort of like
keep hurting cats, you know, what I mean?

00:57:30.000 --> 00:57:34.999
Are you… would you be able to combine 9:30?

00:57:35.000 --> 00:57:39.999
Well, I got a rehearsal
for singing at 11.30.

00:57:40.000 --> 00:57:44.999
Okay. I\'ll be two by then. Sure.
Oh yeah. All right.

00:57:45.000 --> 00:57:49.999
All right. Great. Thanks, Mary.

00:57:50.000 --> 00:57:54.999
Yeah, but the point is Peter Quince, right?
Right. Yeah. Don\'t let you worry. You umm… They…

00:57:55.000 --> 00:57:59.999
they think you\'re interesting and they think that you could
possibly take the part over of the person can do the part.

00:58:00.000 --> 00:58:04.999
Okay.

00:58:05.000 --> 00:58:09.999
See, the part is larger, you
will not have to memorize it

00:58:10.000 --> 00:58:14.999
but you… if you like, you can still
remain doing the part that I suggest for

00:58:15.000 --> 00:58:19.999
and you feel like playing the other part
then you could switch to the other part.

00:58:20.000 --> 00:58:24.999
Okay. I\'ll read it over and
see what I can handle.

00:58:25.000 --> 00:58:29.999
I\'m getting another education at my age.
How about that, never…

00:58:30.000 --> 00:58:34.999
I never thought of it. (inaudible) in the house, till I…
till I came in. Now… now, you\'re the star of the stage.

00:58:35.000 --> 00:58:39.999
Oh well, I\'m singing, I\'m
acting… How about this…

00:58:40.000 --> 00:58:44.999
You know, one thing I\'m starting to
figure out whether it\'s (inaudible)

00:58:45.000 --> 00:58:49.999
or Jordan is that… you know, the staff
is comfortable with resetting every day…

00:58:50.000 --> 00:58:54.999
Sure, that\'s what they\'re used to. Because their… their
priority is making sure that everybody feels good day-to-day.

00:58:55.000 --> 00:58:59.999
I mean, how do you… I don\'t know how you build something
that leads to a public performance like that.

00:59:00.000 --> 00:59:04.999
We want to feel like
things are moving forward.

00:59:05.000 --> 00:59:09.999
But yeah.

00:59:10.000 --> 00:59:14.999
Hard times, times…

00:59:15.000 --> 00:59:23.000
[sil.]

00:59:25.000 --> 00:59:29.999
Charlotte, we\'re wondering what… what… how to introduce
you here to the audience, you know what I mean?

00:59:30.000 --> 00:59:34.999
Here she. There she goes.

00:59:35.000 --> 00:59:39.999
Who can say what just happened.
Yeah. That\'s hilarious.

00:59:40.000 --> 00:59:44.999
Now, do you want to leave your diamonds
and sapphires with us or do you wanna…

00:59:45.000 --> 00:59:49.999
We also came to find out this bag is just stuffed with money
and jewels… Of course, that\'s why everybody follows me around.

00:59:50.000 --> 00:59:54.999
She\'s a very

00:59:55.000 --> 00:59:59.999
gifted lady and I just
noticed she had Alzheimer\'s.

01:00:00.000 --> 01:00:04.999
I\'m kind of fascinated that she could
be doing as well as she\'s doing

01:00:05.000 --> 01:00:09.999
if she has a memory problem. The
wisest at killing the saddest tail.

01:00:10.000 --> 01:00:14.999
Sometimes for three foot
stool mistake as me…

01:00:15.000 --> 01:00:19.999
Then what happens? Then I
slip I from her bum. Her bum…

01:00:20.000 --> 01:00:24.999
[sil.]

01:00:25.000 --> 01:00:29.999
Maybe likely that she only knows what
she\'s doing, what she\'s doing in.

01:00:30.000 --> 01:00:34.999
…Wasted here, like oh, very.
Here comes Oberon.

01:00:35.000 --> 01:00:39.999
And here my mistress, where
that he were gone. Wonderful.

01:00:40.000 --> 01:00:48.000
[sil.]

01:00:50.000 --> 01:00:54.999
I\'ll check if they haven\'t
fixed the water yet.

01:00:55.000 --> 01:00:59.999
No, they haven\'t. We see the
glasses are turned upside down

01:01:00.000 --> 01:01:04.999
and we have bottled water for each chair.

01:01:05.000 --> 01:01:09.999
I feel safer with a beer. Oh,
should I have said that?

01:01:10.000 --> 01:01:14.999
You can\'t brush your teeth with beer.

01:01:15.000 --> 01:01:19.999
Why not?

01:01:20.000 --> 01:01:24.999
How do you feel about the work
that you\'re doing on the play?

01:01:25.000 --> 01:01:29.999
I do have a question.

01:01:30.000 --> 01:01:34.999
Do I express that in a
poetry form or, you know,

01:01:35.000 --> 01:01:39.999
do I hesitate at the lines of the…

01:01:40.000 --> 01:01:44.999
do I just speak it?

01:01:45.000 --> 01:01:49.999
Oh, you just treated like an incident
that you\'re involved in, you know,

01:01:50.000 --> 01:01:54.999
just like if… if you\'re having an
argument with Lucy, it\'s the same thing,

01:01:55.000 --> 01:01:59.999
you treat the players if it
were an incident in your life.

01:02:00.000 --> 01:02:04.999
I came here to rest.

01:02:05.000 --> 01:02:09.999
I call this place gateway to heaven.

01:02:10.000 --> 01:02:18.000
[sil.]

01:02:30.000 --> 01:02:34.999
Would you have a… an announcements,

01:02:35.000 --> 01:02:39.999
some news to share with you. I just received
this news so I don\'t have a lot of details.

01:02:40.000 --> 01:02:44.999
Umm… Unfortunately Gloria will not be returning to the show.
Apparently, she set a series of tests at the hospital,

01:02:45.000 --> 01:02:49.999
it\'s unclear when she is gonna return to the
home. She might be on a different floor

01:02:50.000 --> 01:02:54.999
and there might be some changes to her status and stuff
that I think are gonna be a large adjustment for her.

01:02:55.000 --> 01:02:59.999
We will replace her with another actor, that actor
maybe someone from inside the world of the home here,

01:03:00.000 --> 01:03:04.999
might be somebody… Might
be Noah or I, you know,

01:03:05.000 --> 01:03:09.999
and obviously Gloria was so great in the role.
So it\'ll be a… a challenge to replace her.

01:03:10.000 --> 01:03:18.000
[music]

01:03:20.000 --> 01:03:24.999
Gloria has been really in the gray area and as
part of (inaudible) that had been quite some time.

01:03:25.000 --> 01:03:29.999
Uh… There has been some discussion for the last several
months way before this production ever stored,

01:03:30.000 --> 01:03:34.999
which she\'d be better (inaudible)

01:03:35.000 --> 01:03:39.999
in her suit facility and that was really one of
those different questions for our staff to answer.

01:03:40.000 --> 01:03:44.999
And try not to move a resident downstairs
to the nursing home until we really… really

01:03:45.000 --> 01:03:49.999
clinically have to. You know, we feel very comfortable that we made the
right decision keeping her in assisted living for as long as we did

01:03:50.000 --> 01:03:54.999
and I think personally from the last four weeks
has allowed her to be part of something special.

01:03:55.000 --> 01:03:59.999
[music]

01:04:00.000 --> 01:04:04.999
My ears catch your voice.

01:04:05.000 --> 01:04:13.000
[music]

01:04:35.000 --> 01:04:39.999
[sil.]

01:04:40.000 --> 01:04:44.999
Let\'s go back

01:04:45.000 --> 01:04:49.999
and revisit some of the stuff
we worked on this morning.

01:04:50.000 --> 01:04:54.999
Ah, my gentle Puck, come here now.

01:04:55.000 --> 01:04:59.999
Charlotte Fairchild seems to have retained at
least from this morning maybe even from yesterday

01:05:00.000 --> 01:05:04.999
some of the ideas that we\'re
instilling about addressed

01:05:05.000 --> 01:05:09.999
to the audience and bring your
performance out and playfulness…

01:05:10.000 --> 01:05:14.999
They\'ll speak us to write. I am
that Mary wanderer of the night.

01:05:15.000 --> 01:05:19.999
She seems to have retained which means that maybe
there is some cumulative effect taking place.

01:05:20.000 --> 01:05:24.999
Here, I remember as…

01:05:25.000 --> 01:05:29.999
I remember… That very time. I saw…

01:05:30.000 --> 01:05:34.999
Every day here\'s… My expectations
had been confounded.

01:05:35.000 --> 01:05:39.999
Love how you guys are playing
with so much size and passion

01:05:40.000 --> 01:05:44.999
and joy, generosity, it\'s really… really
great. That\'s another big step forward guys.

01:05:45.000 --> 01:05:49.999
That\'s another big step forward.
From… the staff and administration

01:05:50.000 --> 01:05:54.999
said it\'s having an impact both on them
and on people, just a home in general

01:05:55.000 --> 01:05:59.999
that there\'s this energy and that\'s
wonderful. That makes it worthwhile.

01:06:00.000 --> 01:06:04.999
That was firm. Me too.

01:06:05.000 --> 01:06:13.000
[music]

01:06:30.000 --> 01:06:34.999
I think these two coming weeks are
gonna be really tough for them.

01:06:35.000 --> 01:06:39.999
They… they\'re stress level is getting closer. Well, they
might get a little bit cranky and upset but that\'s okay.

01:06:40.000 --> 01:06:44.999
We understand they go into all this and…

01:06:45.000 --> 01:06:49.999
and they getting up earlier and getting dress and
it\'s all these… they only thinking about this.

01:06:50.000 --> 01:06:54.999
They forget about meals. They forget about everything,
they just focus on that rehearsal… rehearsal.

01:06:55.000 --> 01:06:59.999
Who is here. (inaudible) of
Athens he (inaudible) where.

01:07:00.000 --> 01:07:04.999
I know Charlotte Fairchild was practicing
with the aid (inaudible) we came.

01:07:05.000 --> 01:07:09.999
All the power this charm (inaudible). Dimo, of
course, he\'s been really working hard on that.

01:07:10.000 --> 01:07:14.999
Bob Evans, he\'s been all
over the hallways reading,

01:07:15.000 --> 01:07:19.999
trying to learn the lines,
working really hard.

01:07:20.000 --> 01:07:24.999
(inaudible) rocks. Give me a lot of bullshit.
Don\'t take it from me. Don\'t let me do

01:07:25.000 --> 01:07:29.999
what I want to do, interrupt me.

01:07:30.000 --> 01:07:34.999
Oh, I don\'t see bullshit here.

01:07:35.000 --> 01:07:39.999
And Mary Depaulo. Because she\'s new, so she needs
to put herself to the same level as everybody else.

01:07:40.000 --> 01:07:44.999
And families are been asking about it.
They really looking forward,

01:07:45.000 --> 01:07:49.999
it\'s… it\'s pretty much like when you\'re going to a
school and you report to your parents you having a show.

01:07:50.000 --> 01:07:54.999
Their families are calling and
asking what about, when is it.

01:07:55.000 --> 01:07:59.999
Everybody\'s looking forward. Uh-huh.
See, Shakespeare is taking care of it.

01:08:00.000 --> 01:08:04.999
[music]

01:08:05.000 --> 01:08:09.999
Die, die, die…

01:08:10.000 --> 01:08:14.999
Good, keep going. This is the best I\'ve
ever seen. Keep going guys (inaudible).

01:08:15.000 --> 01:08:19.999
There sleeps the tiniest and

01:08:20.000 --> 01:08:24.999
(inaudible)…

01:08:25.000 --> 01:08:29.999
Oh, ya-hoo. Keep going. Let
it go all the way, yeah.

01:08:30.000 --> 01:08:38.000
[music]

01:08:40.000 --> 01:08:44.999
I\'ll never free for (inaudible).

01:08:45.000 --> 01:08:49.999
Could you get me an (inaudible)? Ah, yeah.

01:08:50.000 --> 01:08:54.999
[music]

01:08:55.000 --> 01:08:59.999
(inaudible) always do it. Oh, yes.
That\'s great, let\'s take it.

01:09:00.000 --> 01:09:04.999
Harold, it\'s time for your
first costume fitting.

01:09:05.000 --> 01:09:09.999
Head costume fittings before some
(inaudible)… And never wore like this.

01:09:10.000 --> 01:09:14.999
It completes the look.

01:09:15.000 --> 01:09:19.999
Harold, this is the tie(ph)? How
long do I have to wear this?

01:09:20.000 --> 01:09:24.999
A couple of minutes actually. That\'s okay. And either way he\'s
happened to have like a pocket mirror on the (inaudible).

01:09:25.000 --> 01:09:29.999
Oh, thank you, that\'s (inaudible).
Little lipstick (inaudible).

01:09:30.000 --> 01:09:34.999
Oh, well.

01:09:35.000 --> 01:09:39.999
My cherry lips have often kiss thy still.

01:09:40.000 --> 01:09:44.999
It says, don\'t kiss me…

01:09:45.000 --> 01:09:49.999
Oh, kiss me through the hole of this vild… vild wall!
I kiss the wall\'s hole but not your lips at all.

01:09:50.000 --> 01:09:54.999
Now we do the kiss.

01:09:55.000 --> 01:09:59.999
How close? As close as you can.

01:10:00.000 --> 01:10:04.999
That\'s it. Yeah. You get even closer.

01:10:05.000 --> 01:10:13.000
[sil.]

01:10:15.000 --> 01:10:19.999
In the last couple days I feel
like I felt with the cracks.

01:10:20.000 --> 01:10:24.999
I wasn\'t understanding the
movement of the characters.

01:10:25.000 --> 01:10:29.999
I\'m getting very insecure.
I noticed one thing today,

01:10:30.000 --> 01:10:34.999
uh… I\'ve done this, I lose my place and I
think it\'s because I\'m nervous, I\'m nervous.

01:10:35.000 --> 01:10:39.999
So, and the more this happens
to me, the more nervous I get.

01:10:40.000 --> 01:10:44.999
I don\'t know if I can do this.

01:10:45.000 --> 01:10:49.999
Yes?

01:10:50.000 --> 01:10:54.999
Your medication. Okay.

01:10:55.000 --> 01:10:59.999
I have childhood epilepsy

01:11:00.000 --> 01:11:04.999
and then I was having other issues as well
and compromised by that in some ways.

01:11:05.000 --> 01:11:09.999
So we have to monitor very carefully.

01:11:10.000 --> 01:11:14.999
So here\'s… here\'s the plan for today.

01:11:15.000 --> 01:11:19.999
We\'re gonna try to start running
long, you know, longer chunks

01:11:20.000 --> 01:11:24.999
of the show now without stopping. So now
it\'s about passing the play as much

01:11:25.000 --> 01:11:29.999
as we can possibly do over you guys, you
know. We want them always keep going.

01:11:30.000 --> 01:11:34.999
Keep moving forward and not stop. The show must go on
kind of mentality is what we\'re looking for now. Okay.

01:11:35.000 --> 01:11:39.999
[music]

01:11:40.000 --> 01:11:44.999
…(inaudible)

01:11:45.000 --> 01:11:49.999
my son,

01:11:50.000 --> 01:11:54.999
and when I love during the injuries
but I will rip in an another key.

01:11:55.000 --> 01:11:59.999
The triumph.

01:12:00.000 --> 01:12:04.999
And we will do it in action as well as well

01:12:05.000 --> 01:12:09.999
do it before the Duke. Oh
sorry, my eyes clouded up.

01:12:10.000 --> 01:12:14.999
That\'s okay. Bob, just
gonna move you again.

01:12:15.000 --> 01:12:19.999
Sure, you\'re up. I\'ll try it
with the hands. I alone will go.

01:12:20.000 --> 01:12:24.999
Oh, I\'m out of breath and this fond chase.

01:12:25.000 --> 01:12:29.999
Happy is Hermia.

01:12:30.000 --> 01:12:34.999
And so where she lies for she had
blessed that attractive eyes.

01:12:35.000 --> 01:12:39.999
[sil.]

01:12:40.000 --> 01:12:44.999
Page 22, Lynette.

01:12:45.000 --> 01:12:49.999
Okay. Let\'s take a short break and we\'ll
talk about that a little run-through.

01:12:50.000 --> 01:12:54.999
With an audience just saw that,

01:12:55.000 --> 01:12:59.999
they wouldn\'t know what they were looking at
and the story is incomprehensible right now.

01:13:00.000 --> 01:13:04.999
Yeah. You know. I\'m just
very, very worried about

01:13:05.000 --> 01:13:09.999
when that she is… she does… she
has lost all of her orientation.

01:13:10.000 --> 01:13:14.999
(inaudible) becoming a bit on more
(inaudible)… From clarity. …From clarity.

01:13:15.000 --> 01:13:19.999
Yeah. I mean, that, you know, the good news is that a lot of… a
lot of the work that we\'ve put in is like clearly paying off.

01:13:20.000 --> 01:13:24.999
It\'s just… it just doesn\'t add up

01:13:25.000 --> 01:13:29.999
to them telling the story. Right.

01:13:30.000 --> 01:13:34.999
I hope it works out

01:13:35.000 --> 01:13:39.999
and it would be much better
if I had more rehearsals.

01:13:40.000 --> 01:13:44.999
[music]

01:13:45.000 --> 01:13:49.999
Dimo, please stay with the text. I understand your
frustration. I understand you point. However…

01:13:50.000 --> 01:13:54.999
I mean, if they worked for several
hours, if they worked six,

01:13:55.000 --> 01:13:59.999
and I would get more rehearsal
time, so and everybody else.

01:14:00.000 --> 01:14:04.999
The directors, they don\'t
work hard enough. No!

01:14:05.000 --> 01:14:13.000
[music]

01:14:15.000 --> 01:14:23.000
[sil.]

01:14:25.000 --> 01:14:29.999
Lynette, I think you need to
take the stage on this. Okay.

01:14:30.000 --> 01:14:34.999
Yeah. Because I think… I think it\'s about saying \"I\'m
here and I want to know what\'s gonna happen to me,\"

01:14:35.000 --> 01:14:39.999
(inaudible) want to open this whole thing up. So
that you wanna end up on this side of Theseus here,

01:14:40.000 --> 01:14:44.999
so that you can say that\'s exactly what\'s gonna
happen before I give myself to somebody who I hate.

01:14:45.000 --> 01:14:49.999
Okay. Okay. Good. Fierce, fierce, fierce.
She\'s tough.

01:14:50.000 --> 01:14:54.999
Okay. Here we go, Lynette.

01:14:55.000 --> 01:14:59.999
Before we do this again… before we do this again… \'cause…
\'cause I want to make sure you\'re not confused, Lynette.

01:15:00.000 --> 01:15:04.999
I am confused. Yeah. That\'s what… So
that\'s what I got a sense of that.

01:15:05.000 --> 01:15:09.999
So you\'re… you\'re relationship
here in this room, right,

01:15:10.000 --> 01:15:14.999
with these people do you… do… you kind of
have a sense of it. Dimo is my father.

01:15:15.000 --> 01:15:19.999
No. No?

01:15:20.000 --> 01:15:24.999
Dimo is the lord and master around here. Ah,
okay. Yeah, we\'ve gone over this before.

01:15:25.000 --> 01:15:29.999
Right. So what he has just said to you
is you can\'t marry the man you love,

01:15:30.000 --> 01:15:34.999
who is Lysander, John.

01:15:35.000 --> 01:15:39.999
You have to marry the man you are
father tells you to Demetrius, Joe.

01:15:40.000 --> 01:15:44.999
Does that make sense? Yes.

01:15:45.000 --> 01:15:49.999
So these all has to do with a huge
life-changing decision. Right.

01:15:50.000 --> 01:15:54.999
Nobody in this room is happy.

01:15:55.000 --> 01:15:59.999
The stakes couldn\'t possibly be higher for
anyone in this room. It\'s not a comedy yet.

01:16:00.000 --> 01:16:04.999
Therefore, Hermia. Question your desires.
No View youth

01:16:05.000 --> 01:16:09.999
whether if you yield not to your father\'s
choice you can then do a delivery

01:16:10.000 --> 01:16:14.999
of a nun to live a barren
sister all your life.

01:16:15.000 --> 01:16:19.999
So I grow.

01:16:20.000 --> 01:16:24.999
No, wait a minute. Weren\'t to
supposed to go over there?

01:16:25.000 --> 01:16:29.999
No, you have to take her. I have to
take her… On but earthly or happy.

01:16:30.000 --> 01:16:34.999
Are you listening to me? Are you listening to me? Try… Dimo, Dimo.
We just had a conversation about what Lynette\'s working on.

01:16:35.000 --> 01:16:39.999
Yeah, but conversations don\'t work better than… Sometimes we…
Dimo, Dimo… We… we cannot… we cannot allow this dynamic.

01:16:40.000 --> 01:16:44.999
This is the dynamic we cannot allow.
Oh, fuck you, man.

01:16:45.000 --> 01:16:49.999
Excuse me, can you sit
down for second there.

01:16:50.000 --> 01:16:54.999
What about dynamics? I know more
about dynamics than you do.

01:16:55.000 --> 01:16:59.999
Dimo, well, I understand your
frustration but you cannot…

01:17:00.000 --> 01:17:04.999
I\'m not frustrated. I\'m
trying to help the girl.

01:17:05.000 --> 01:17:09.999
She is supposed to be fierce.
She\'s supposed to be proud.

01:17:10.000 --> 01:17:14.999
Dimo, Dimo. Calm down.

01:17:15.000 --> 01:17:19.999
Let try to talk her into how she can
be proud. I want you to calm down.

01:17:20.000 --> 01:17:24.999
Well, you listen a moment. Would you listen a moment to me. I\'m hearing you. You do… you cannot… This
lady. Dimo, come sit here. This lady cane be helped a lot better and I can do it better than you.

01:17:25.000 --> 01:17:29.999
I\'m… That\'s fine. That is your opinion.
That is your opinion.

01:17:30.000 --> 01:17:34.999
That\'s my opinion because I have the lot of experience. You
do not get to run this room. We have to do this together.

01:17:35.000 --> 01:17:39.999
And you cannot… Dimo, you cannot… You tell me that I\'m running
this room when I am not. I am trying to help that girl.

01:17:40.000 --> 01:17:44.999
Let me finish my statement. Look at me.

01:17:45.000 --> 01:17:49.999
(inaudible) I don\'t have to look at you. Allow me
to… I can hear you, I\'ll look that way. Speak.

01:17:50.000 --> 01:17:54.999
I think we should take a break. I think
we should take about a 10-minute break.

01:17:55.000 --> 01:17:59.999
You\'re not getting anything
done and you know it.

01:18:00.000 --> 01:18:04.999
We are getting something done. I totally disagree with
that. You are getting something done from that girl.

01:18:05.000 --> 01:18:09.999
Yes. Come on. This isn\'t
Dimo teaches a master class.

01:18:10.000 --> 01:18:14.999
You bet your ass we\'re
getting something done.

01:18:15.000 --> 01:18:19.999
She\'s growing. She\'s changing.
You want Dimo,

01:18:20.000 --> 01:18:24.999
but what you want is not important
all the time. It is absolutely,

01:18:25.000 --> 01:18:29.999
absolutely and you know this. Not
your business to give another actor

01:18:30.000 --> 01:18:34.999
their character or to teach them within
the context of a scene how the act.

01:18:35.000 --> 01:18:39.999
Fucking children.

01:18:40.000 --> 01:18:48.000
[sil.]

01:19:05.000 --> 01:19:09.999
Don\'t get yourself upset. It\'s a
show, we\'re putting out for nothing.

01:19:10.000 --> 01:19:14.999
Oh, what a beautiful day.

01:19:15.000 --> 01:19:19.999
I got a

01:19:20.000 --> 01:19:24.999
beautiful feeling everything
is not going my way.

01:19:25.000 --> 01:19:29.999
Everything is not going my way.

01:19:30.000 --> 01:19:38.000
[music]

01:19:40.000 --> 01:19:48.000
[non-English narration]

01:19:50.000 --> 01:19:54.999
Okay, stout, scratch my head.

01:19:55.000 --> 01:19:59.999
Oh, Peter Quince?

01:20:00.000 --> 01:20:08.000
[sil.]

01:20:15.000 --> 01:20:19.999
This morning there\'s kind of a run-through,

01:20:20.000 --> 01:20:24.999
there\'s going to be a dress rehearsal,
this afternoon. Actually, this morning

01:20:25.000 --> 01:20:29.999
will be the first run-through,

01:20:30.000 --> 01:20:34.999
a complete run-through that we\'ve had.
And some folks are nervous thinking

01:20:35.000 --> 01:20:39.999
that it\'s not quite enough preparation
but then in the theatre business,

01:20:40.000 --> 01:20:44.999
is there ever enough preparation?

01:20:45.000 --> 01:20:49.999
Oh, there they are. Look at that.

01:20:50.000 --> 01:20:54.999
I\'m the first one there.

01:20:55.000 --> 01:20:59.999
That\'s a nice picture really.

01:21:00.000 --> 01:21:04.999
I wouldn\'t believe (inaudible).

01:21:05.000 --> 01:21:09.999
[music]

01:21:10.000 --> 01:21:14.999
Yeah, you guys look (inaudible) at me.

01:21:15.000 --> 01:21:19.999
Right here, one, two, three.
Big smile (inaudible).

01:21:20.000 --> 01:21:24.999
[sil.]

01:21:25.000 --> 01:21:29.999
I went away.

01:21:30.000 --> 01:21:34.999
I have a very good friend in
Arizona and I… I went and stayed

01:21:35.000 --> 01:21:39.999
with her for quite a long time.

01:21:40.000 --> 01:21:44.999
I… I think I felt that
I was imposing on her

01:21:45.000 --> 01:21:49.999
and I should come back to the
home, so I came back to the home.

01:21:50.000 --> 01:21:54.999
Yeah. Now I wish, I were
there imposing on her.

01:21:55.000 --> 01:21:59.999
What can you say? Well, I
remember being part of the play
