The script is on its way! Lines are pretty much all pulled, and now it’s on to the editing stage so it makes sense. It’s ridiculously long. The original play is probably three hours long or so, and we have to do it in seven minutes. That will be interesting. Our script is twenty-five pages long, before editing. There’s a lot of editing to do. The finished script should be around ten pages or less. In line-pulling, I tried to weed out unimportant events. I pulled from Act three. So, I kept a lot of the handkerchief drama in, but tried to edit out as much meaningless banter as possible. Iago says lots of random things just to get a reaction, and now a lot of that is gone. However, you can’t just cut out the important lines and forget the rest. It has to make sense and flow. I pulled important events, yes, but connecting lines that weren’t directly plot-related had to be kept as well, for the scene to make sense. Honestly, my understanding of Othello really hasn’t deepened because of line-pulling, because I’m not reading for understanding or meaning when deciding what stays and goes. I’m just looking for what events are important to our theme, entering the line into the google doc, and moving on. I think we should be thinking more about our theme, though, because I’m not sure we really have an idea of what in Othello really relates to betrayal. We’re kind of just pulling general important parts. Our group dynamic is still pretty good. We’re chill people for the most part, so we quietly do our work and get on with it. Most of our group is a bit slow, too, so line-pulling took longer than expected, and these blog posts are a bit late from all of us. Oh well. It’s getting done! Tomorrow we’ll be making puppets! Twill be exciting. Hopefully I remember the felt.
