There is not a lot of time at Progress between one production ending and the start of the next one and time on stage is at a premium.
The cast of The Ash Girl were rehearsing in the bar area on Sunday while the set build team were busy on stage. In a future blog we’ll look more closely at the set – the giant toblerone looks intriguing!
As you can imagine rehearsing in the bar can be difficult, particularly with a large cast. There is not much space and actors not in a particular scene have to sit round the edge waiting for their turn.
The Ash Girl is a take on the traditional Cinderella story and bears more relation to the sometimes gruesome original Brothers Grimm tale than the Disney version. The scene being rehearsed on Sunday has Ash Girl going into a haunted forest where she is pursued by the seven deadly sins and some scary trees.
