A Lot of Laughter and Some Tears
So many things have happened since we last wrote anything on here.
We just had a long weekend of some hardcore rehearsals. Everything is coming along well, the actors and the characters they are playing have developed so much.
On Friday evening we had a run-through of the whole play which went really well. We had a spiritual start to the day on Saturday when the Baba (priest) in the temple we were rehearsing in told us to being with a prayer and then gave us prashad.
Sunday evening was a reflection of the whole weekend, only a few of us were left going through some intense scenes and everyone ended up in tears. There was lots of hugging and then a lot of laughing that followed that. It was a truly beautiful moment which everyone there will remember always.
Production wise, we had a five hour long production meeting on Friday! Yes, five hours!! In between we ate breakfast that Ravina’s sister had made for us. Reena B and Ravina have been sorting all the props and costumes and I’ve been making the programmes and putting together bits of audio for the play.
Trust me, Thursday 13th December is going to be an amazing evening if you’re coming to watch The Fifth Cup.

Sunday evening was amazing. we all got into character so much that for a few moments i forgot i was Reena.
Let me tell you all this wasn’t just because of great actors, but because of great writers too. Actors can only do what the script allows them to, good or bad. And because the script for The Fifth Cup is so well written we as actors are able to express ourselves in such a fabulous way.
I’m really looking forward to the performance on the 13th December, and something tells me this is just the beginning….
