Streetcar Rehearsals
1 April 2008
We’ve had about 50 hours of rehearsal so far for Streetcar and I’m feeling pretty damn good about the whole thing: hopeful that you’ll come and be moved, and hopeful that I’ll do good work. There have been ups and downs, including the usual moments of all-consuming self-doubt, but when I close my eyes, I hear good things.
This is key, if you ask me — what you hear. There. I gave away my big secret to naturalistic acting. Not that the conceit of our production is naturalistic! There are some surreal, stylized moments, for sure. This is in keeping with Williams, though some may not realize it. For example, the Mexican woman crying “Flores para los muertos,” used as a way of bringing death to the mind, started out as a huge disembodied head in early drafts of this play. Don’t know what I’m talking about? Well, buy a ticket and find out, dude. No foolin’.
