TALKING WITH «adjudication —
Although Talking With’s director had chosen not to
compete her show, the production still received a
thoughtful adjudication.

The cast, crew and director were commended for an
excellent preparation level. The show was well
presented and “all the actresses had good presence”.
Mr. Davis complained about the noise of the house
fans interfering with the actresses’ voices. Once he
heart that Talking With.. was directed for the more
immediate audience contact available at the McColl
Playhouse and saw that space, he understood better
the choice of play and its direction. |

Mr, Davis did not agree with many of the director's
choices, and. while he found room for improvement
with each actress, he did emphasize that- the
production was a “major achievement’ and
encouraged the actresses to enjoy it and to "bring
themselves’ to the-parts.

THE BRUTE - adjudication

Mr. Davis discussed the meaning of "farce" and the
detachment that it creates with an audience, no matter
how it is presented. He wanted the director to work at
making it "big" as a farce while grounding it in
reality - a quibble he had with all but one show. He
liked to solution (based on limitations on space &
lights in their own venue) of having the actors come
in on a lit stage instead of being "discovered" there.

The two principal actors were told they had "lots of
potential" and asked them, “Don’t pose it, be it". The
mourning was an example of the fact that the actress
needs to believe it on a deep level. "Never point a
gun at an audience", he cautioned. Then he asked for
a "final trick" to make it work - build the pace more.
"Good work!" The Brute was chosen to go to Nelson
for scene development.
