After securing the actors, we hosted a table read so everyone could get together, meet each other, and practice lines from the script in the same room. This turned out to be a great success as I managed to see what they were all like in their respected roles. I must say, the cast did very well and I was happy with how it all went. I noticed a number of things while at the table read, one being the fact that Malik (playing Dean) struggled with the bigger passages, therefore Helen, Aimee and I decided to shorten his lines to fit him and his character. We want the actors to feel comfortable in their roles, therefore decisions like these will benefit all of us. I was particularly impressed with Dan (playing Tom) as he seemed to adapt to his character well and read his lines with ease. He put emphasis in the right places and I believe he is a very strong actor in a difficult role.
