A Lift

Though Chekhov's 'Lift' scenes are rightly considered difficult and usually cut, our director has insisted that we play an uncut version of the script. Spent 2 hours today working through the lift scene in Jubilee, but I'm still unsure that it's going to work. I remember a production of The Cherry Orchard in the early seventies where the essence of Chekhov's vision was laid bare by the climactic moments in the lift. I hope we can reach those heights by the end of the week.
