Actor Notes

Mr. Ben. – Well then – a new idea – a bit of a joke at Jane’s expense?
Mr. Ben. Keep the voice up!
Mr. Bern – know your jokes – dry and ironic
Mrs. Ben – p. 8 entail – be sure Mr. Ben hears this
Jane – “be comforted” not “confronted”
There can be audible clapping along with music and audible applause at end of dance
Kitty – after your laugh om p. 10 you don’t have to check in with your mother
At end of Assembly ball – the trio C,B,D, can move a bit more center
Can w get the final exchange between Darcy and Eliz at Meryton on the platform
p. 14 Mr. Bennet – don’t leave until Mrs. Ben has told you about “rude about Lizzy (try not to let her see
you leave – wait until she turns back to Eliza)
Jane – be sure Mon has gone before “what did Mr. Darcy say …”
Curtsey remainder – skirt up not out
It was getting very crowded upstage – if so the lucas’ might step up a step or two.
Darcy – more obligation, less invitation in asking Eliza to dance p. 16
Darcy – be careful of turning some “d”s into”t” (meditations for example)
All – keep up pace and cue pickup!
Bingley – don’t lose the word apothecary – voce/energy up
Eliza. Can you caryy your book with you through Nethefield scenes
Coroline – enjoy the exaggeration/joke on 20 miles
Eliza – bring book down with you after Westminster chines
Arcy – consider before “miss bennets height
All – be careful of the loud offstage right door!
Bingley – might make more of every young woman as “very acomploshed
Might Bingly stand up ? move back whe the conversation between Darcy and Eliza gets more heated
Maybe Mrs. Bennet gets up on “fine rooms here” and crosses DR
Eliza – pull mother a bit away – Have you heard from Charlotte Lucas
Mary – “Jane’s home – perhaps a bit sooner
Collins – gesture to the “dauhterws’ on Daughters line
Collins – contimnue to enjoy – even more his pretentions – his vocabulary “dispose of and his use of the
word condesention – also lean into the Mortified a bit more – it’s fun.
Bennt’s try to hit and rales the Collin’s tabnleaux together.
Mr. Ben – instead of tryin to hide Lydia leavin – perhaps try to grab her of hold her in the room?

Tech Notes
Walk in music?
Music at top of Meryton Assembly – establish and fade
Should we have someone at the piano on the “bobbins” reprise?
Can we present Janes letter to Elizabeth in the Darcy desk?
Can the light shift into Netherfield (3 miles!) be faster?
