We rehearsed REECE & POOPAY last night in Holly's home. Both actors have and love cats, and their cats are magnificent. They move like lions, in their calm comfort & assurance.
The scene cracked all over the place.
Sitting on a real couch, interacting with three giant cats, everything got real. The words just get more human, when the guy saying them has a huge cat stretched out on his lap -- or when the woman saying them is carrying a loudly purring cat.
It was an easy crack -- not a showy one, a melty one. Like watching an image go from blurry, into clear focus.
REECE & POOPAY both love cats. That's the crack.
And, the cats approved of rehearsal. They lay on the script, curled in the nooks of the couch where the cushion had been removed, sprawled on the couch, and yowled loudly when an actor blocked to sit there had to move them.
