Today we wrote the dialogue for our first section of Lorna’s
scene and blocked the movement to go with it. We first came up with the script
which took us a while as we wanted to make the dialogue as natural as possible.
In this section, we have Harry (Ollie) visiting Stella (Lorna) and offering
comfort.
Below is our dialogue:
We thought that instead of Harry coming along as another
lover out of the blue, we wanted him to be the cause of Stella’s willingness to
remarry. We have adapted the story so that now, Harry is intercepting the
letters from Charles which leads to Stella thinking that Charles hasn’t
bothered to write. Stella then ends up marrying Harry. We wanted to show in
this section that Harry is intercepting the letters. We originally thought of
having Ollie and Lorna run their dialogue and I enter as the ghost of Charles
(as the real Charles is obviously at war) and place letters in Ollie’s pockets
to show him intercepting them. However, when trying this out, we felt that not
only was it difficult to do, but that it wasn’t clear that Ollie was
intercepting the letters. Instead, I now go to hand Lorna the letters but Ollie
takes them out my hand before they get to her. I attempt to ‘deliver’ four
letters and then leave the last one on the table which Ollie takes.
Next lesson, we will work out the rest of the scene.
