I had an actor’s nightmare yesterday morning: the whole theatre department from my university had reassembled at to re-stage the production of Romeo and Juliet we did in 1988, except now we were using the text of Measure for Measure, and I couldn’t get a script ’cause we were all supposed to be off-book — even though I’d just been brought in and hadn’t had any rehearsal.
I think this is about the novel: it’s still in development and I’m not able to “perform” it yet.
