Wednesday saw our final rehearsal of “Can I be a butterfly” in the local village hall, with a small audience in the round.
Using my vintage Sony amp (bought in July 1977) and 4 speakers, dismantled from our hi-fi system at home, we created a “sound in the round” effect for the 11 SFX audio files that are now part of the show.
The 6 audience members gave us very complementary feedback after the performance. This was extremely encouraging for the last few days before the play receives its debut on Sunday 28th April at Duns Play Fest.
A short audio clip, that did find its way into one of the final sound effects, brings together the voices of 3 of the 4 interviewees. This forms part of a sequence towards the end of the show, as Briar Rose wakes from her long sleep and “hears something new”.
If you are in the Scottish Borders this Sunday (28th April) come along to Duns Play Fest at 6.15pm to see the show. Duns Play Fest Tickets – Can I be a butterfly?
