Complications in the Black Forest

The Winter's Tale - Term 3, Week 3

It's not only light when I arrive this evening, it's warm too. The streets are full because Cambridge United are playing their final home league game of the season and a win against rivals Torquay United will secure a play-off place for them. Two loud cheers shortly before 8:30pm indicate they may have achieved their goal.

Meanwhile, inside the Leper Chapel, another brainstorm leads us to focus on choreography this evening. "A Walk In The Black Forest" is no longer the preserve of the "vaudevillians" and has now become an ensemble piece with everybody jumping in and out at different times! It will require some work to get right, but it's shaping up to be fun.

The rest of the time is spent on the pastoral scene with Polixenes, Camillo, Perdita, Florizel and the old shepherd. It points to a lot more work needing to be done to learn lines.

Apparently part of the script is missing from the wiki, so I promise to add it.
