After today’s runthrough, which went really well, we moved into some issues of the fourth wall and storytelling style.
Q: Do I see the audience?
A: The same way you see the stars.
Aaron and Camille talked about the necessity of making sure that the Golda-storyteller character was always present. She can’t ever fully disappear into the other characters, because she has to make sure they (the audience) understand her story.
Full realism happens in the phone calls. Only then does Golda enact. All the rest of the time, when doing dialogue, she precedes it with a “he said” or “she said.”
They discussed the fact that Golda enjoys the telling.
