I played Pip in Neil Bartletts adaptation of Great Expectations not too long ago. There’s a small speech at the end which is pretty sad.

From the first day of rehearsing it the director said “don’t change a thing!”

I don’t like doing the same thing every night and thought it made the ending terrible if I played it that way but I took her advice and did it the same way every day.

When it came to opening night I was so ready to do it as I’d been doing it the same way since day one.

After the speech I exited through the audience and there wasn’t a dry eye in the theatre.

Directors know what they’re doing! (Most of the time!)
