First Read-through

This morning we had our first read-through.

Everyone came on time and friends kindly read in the two parts we are yet to cast.

It was very promising. Most notable was the humour that came out even though most of the cast had not seen the script before. Wedekind allegedly complained that performances of the play in his lifetime were too dour and this is something I am very keen to rectify (it ties in with the view that the play is seen through the children's eyes).
