15th march rehearsal, first run through

The first run through was ok, not great but it could have been better if we had focused more and remembered our lines, however I was always sure that in the next few rehearsals we were definitely going to improve. Their were many times where we had to stop during rehearsals as we had many problems with the unstableflats seen as usually in rehearsals we used flats that only two people could move however when it came to the flats we were using in the performance we found that they were very unstable and had to be moved by four people, one person lifting up the weight, one person taking off the leg and two people rotating the flats. I think the flats caused alot of trouble to the performance as when the flats had to be moved we had to have eight people for the two flats this meant usually eight people would be late for their ques to come on stage.
