This was an exercise we did you test ourself on how well we knew our given circumstances, objectives and characters.
We went through our individual scenes and almost paraphrased them. This was a good exercise if you understood all these things but some people had struggled a bit because they were trying to learn their lines as well as objectives and it was a bit much for them. We only covered the scenes we had blocked and started rehearsing. Through doing this, we gained an understanding of what purposes our characters served to the scenes and how the individual scenes affected the whole play. I think it's important to have done this exercise so we all got the general gist of the play and I think doing this in your own time can help you learn your lines easier. Perhaps in the performance if someone was to forget their line, they would know the direction of the scene and can improvise a line that doesn't disturb the harmony of the scene.
