This rehearsal was our first time working with the crates in the space. The crates are made of proper wood so they're quite heavy and it's wise to be wary of splinters and they're first used in our scene and used throughout the play, mostly as chairs.
The transition from scene 5 to our scene is quick and as soon as the actors from that scene start walking off, we walk on straight to our places and all make eye contact and, in sync, put our crates down and begin the scene. At the end of our scene, we look at each other, pick up our crates in unison and walk off apart from Layla and Finn who stay on and position the crates for the following scene which is the one between Duckling and Harry.
Our scene still has the regular problem of pace and forgetting to cut each other off. If we remembered that this is an argument scene, we would be cutting each other off at the end of our lines but as we forget this the scene drags on. If we cut each other off it would go from one person to the other immediately and the scene wouldn't be as long and boring.
