My Brilliant Divorce Production Diary - My Brilliant Divorce Begins

With the first few days of rehearsal over, Ginette McDonald and Geraldine Brophy are getting into the swing of things. We now have a vague blocking of almost the entire show and Ginette is quickly memorising her lines, allowing her to truly dive into the rehearsals. A big task for a one woman show.

On Monday morning Ginette started the rehearsal process on a positive foot with a blessing from Father John and chased through 17 pages in the script the following day!

Things have been moving steadily and comfortably. The of rehearsing in the venue has allowed the crew and Ginette to get a feel of the play within it's surroundings.
