Last night the cast of Murdering Marlowe read the play.
There is something so exciting about a first reading. Watching and listening to the actors work the language and get their heads around the ideas and expressions.
In this case, it's more thrilling than usual since the play is written in a pseudo-Elizabethan style with verse and prose. There is nothing more engaging than the sound of different words working together to form the music that is the play. And in this play the ideas are quite contemporary: envy, power, religion, fame and sex.
It should be a thrilling ride, but more on that later.
