Quick and Quotable

Production Insights

We are still in the Vatican! This Pope scene is taking a long time to block, but it will absolutely be worth it. Comedy, especially slapstick, takes a long time to get right. Audience contact, stage combat, and funny trombone noises all have to work together.
