The Ensemble had their first rehearsal day on Saturday. They took a minibus to London and spent the day working with Peter Gill and the cast. 

In these videos, Abi and Claire tell us what they're looking forward to about the day, and John talks, on the way home, about his experience working with Peter.

hey all,

so, yesterday was the first day of the ensemble for NTW17 A Provincial Life and i was in absolute awe of all the amazing acting talent present. during the read through i think i just sat there with my mouth hanging open. such a privilege to see such artistic skill from everyone. if things keep going as well as they did on saturday then i can guarantee its going to be brilliant. it was my first time meeting Peter Gill too and witnessing his brilliance. the man is a genius as well as being a really nice man too. i found it truly inspiring to see such a master at work. watching the vision take shape is fascinating. i cannot wait to watch it progress and grow into the outstanding performance that i know its going to be!

Day three of rehearsals and I took so cheeky snaps of the read through, no shots of the model box though as that would be a spoiler. I did manage to take a pic of the amazing 70's disco ball hanging from the roof. I am not sure if Peter had asked for it to be installed specifically or if the cast and crew are using it for evening entertainment.

Rehearsals for A Provincial Life started this week, and members of the staff team went to meet the cast and creative team on Monday morning. The day started with the cast (along with members of the staff team) learning a Russian folk song and some dances from the period. 

Don't forget, you can keep up with rehearsal and production updates throughout the process in this group and by searching #NTW17 on Twitter.
