One little piece of something you may not know. During previews we in Richard III not only rehearse before our performance, than DO the performance, but we actually continue to rehearse after the audience has filed out of the Bruns and meandered down the hill to their Jettas, Civics and Priusii(real word?)
Last night the 2nd preview went a bit better. Still wind but much less. After a short break the actors got together on the stage to work the final fight again. But since it was late and all us actors were punch-drunk from too much pentameter Andrew (our fight captain) had us do it without weapons. The resultant "finger-fighting" was so much fun it felt like we were channeling those long-forgotten "light-saber fights" we had on the schoolyard of 3rd grade yesteryear. I (from my position as a dead guy) snapped a picture of the Richmond and Richard's deadly finger battle; rendered to you through my handy Elizabethan cell phone.
Behold!
