the gav, the beck, the nagg

am hoping it's still not too late.

so, um, hullow. i'm kelvin, and i'll be playing nagg, hamm's father. the gav called me a couple of weeks ago, said he wanted to try me out for a part in beckett's. i remember reading 'bout him (the beck, not the gav) back then in my theatre history module, but that was about it. then i found out that pinter (who wrote the homecoming which the gav directed also) was a friend of the beck. i caught it, and liked it. then the gav called me back for a second read. and i got the part.

the gav kept on stressing that this particular beckett play isn't easy to do. i couldn't agree more. on the night when he handed us our scripts, i skimmed through it, didn't understand a thing. then when we read it together in klpac the day after, i still didn't get it. so what did i do? panic la! i knew i could google the play and have it entirely explained to me online, but somehow it defeats the purpose. no syok that way.

we've been in rehearsals for almost a week now. am finding bits and pieces here and there. things are adding up slowly. i doubt i'll get all the answers by the time the production ends, and i think that's kinda the point. that's precisely why plays are written, no? so we'd keep on asking and inquiring and finding answers. ha, you guys are gonna have one helluva time. tickets on sale already ah?

will talk about my character later. have a good one.
