Good evening. And welcome to Dan Bane's Sleepy Time Mumbles. A podcast you can miss. I'm Dan Bane, and every episode I improvise a low stakes podcast for you to fall asleep to. This is Micro Sleep Number Five. Notes on the Theatrical Performance of Lit the Right One In. Now close your eyes. Turn off your screens. Put down your phone. Now it's time to be mumbled to sleep. Currently I'm directing the stage adaptation of the cult Swedish book and then film with the right one in. Here are some notes I've taken while directing the performance of the show for the Court Theatre Christchurch. Bradley, get you out of school. Winching Reorder Unpacking. I don't like the percussive jump. More rocks, less contemplating the rocks. Detailing number two stakes slash emotion. A good dot dot dot puzzle. R a bit disheveled for the drunk. B formalize stealing. Start lines a little earlier. Mum Hay Hey Forehead Kiss Hakan etc Visual Reference Sweets Slash Transactions Formalize Set Moves Afile of this killer B less hot coming in Sand Eating Eat the Sand.
