Macbeth Reflection - Opening Night

I really think that this is a fantastic show. I was really nervous for tonight because I couldn't believe it in my mind that we had actually succeeded in doing a Shakespeare play and doing it well! The audience were not so large but they were incredible. They seemed totally invested and the "Ooos" i got when i first came out with blood on really got me excited and ready to do that scene. They also seemed genuinely scared when I came up to them with my bloody hands, no laughs! I do think it was mostly adults though, as i saw few students in the audience. Tomorrow will definitely be a totally different experience. I feel generally the first half of the play has gotten much better since that was what i was struggling with in rehearsals and I really got a connection to the audience during my speeches. Tech also ran smoothly which was awesome since it made the play feel like a complete unit. I don't think i ever messed up lines too much either which to me feels amazing as I still can't believe i was able to learn this whole play. I really know this play and this character and i'm proud of myself!
