Working on "As I Lay Dying."

My perspective as a spectator is gone for this topic, replaced by my sense of being a performer. Work has started on a stage adaptation of William Faulkner's novel "As I Lay Dying." We will have to turn brilliant poetic explanation and discription into living dramatic action. Somehow. And not that a collection of talent automatically makes for a good or meaningful or engaging production, BUT...it does bring excitement to the beginning of the work. I'm happy at rehearsal to be in the presence of actors with the kind of deep instinctual abilities that our cast has. What will come of it and where we will take it remains to be seen. I'll be in touch.
