Technical rehearsal

Having a busy day at work followed by an evening in the theatre is quite exhausting! I’m looking forward to having some time off after tomorrow’s dress rehearsal to catch up on sleep before the opening night. Tonight was the technical rehearsal and whilst I know it can be frustrating as a cast member with all the stops and starts; having worked backstage as well, it annoys me when people grumble about it. After all, we’ve had six months to rehearse – the technical team get just one night before the dress rehearsal to sort out sound, lighting and scene changes.
