I fear our production of Rage might be going pear-shaped. I went to rehearsal yesterday, and there were about five people there. Ricardio was understandably pissed off and disheartened, so much so that he went home. We decided to go on with rehearsal anyway, to show our commitment, meaning that I, with dan’s help, got to do a little directing.

But I agree with Ricardio. If nobody is going to turn up there’s very little point. Ricardio is a great director, a fact which most of the cast seem to fail to appreciate. Having seen him in action he’s the best director on campus, and he produces the best stuff. Except perhaps for Pool, No water, no other drama show I have seen here on campus came even remotely close to his Outsider or 100 Years of Solitude. Thus, for the cast to be so disrespectful as to use this production as a plaything I find appauling. They act as if it is a social club, whereas they should be cherishing this opportunity. Don’t they want to be actors for heaven’s sake?

Anyway, there is apparently going to be a cast meeting sometime soon. I hope Ricardio, Jo or dan give them all the dressing down they need.
