As it was after school on a Tuesday, Mrs. Culkin was holding
a year 11 revision session so Frankie, who is playing Fagin; Ben, who is
playing Dodger, and I rehearsed the part of the scene that was scheduled with Miss Bell (an English teacher in
our school) in the hall.
I'll see you next time!

The part of the scene we were rehearsing was what I had auditioned with, except some of the lines were slightly different. We
ran through it a few times with our scripts, gradually figuring out how we
should interact with each other and express our characters’ emotions. Miss Bell
was really good at giving us direction in order to help the scene be more
dramatic!
As the part of the scene we needed to rehearse was quite
short, we still had a lot of time left afterwards; we used this to make sure we
knew our lines enough to come off script.
For the last half of the rehearsal, we rehearsed without our scripts. As Nancy doesn’t talk during a lot of the part of act 2, scene 1 we were rehearsing, I was very focused on reacting. Though this had its challenges, I
found that it usually came quite naturally.
Overall, the rehearsal went pretty well! We all knew our
lines by the end of the hour, the boys’ characterisation was brilliant and I
was told I was convincing too!
Before we left, we walked down to the Drama studio to let
Mrs. Culkin know how we’d gotten on. I don’t think she was expecting us to be
off script yet, judging by her reaction, but she seemed excited that we were!
