This is the second time through. I have my own blocking scrawled on my sides, but of course I don&#8217;t have anybody else&#8217;s written down. That&#8217;s their business, and Jane&#8217;s, and Laura&#8217;s.<\/p>\n\n<p>So. I make my entrance as Rich Alfie, and I come in and look around, and I think to myself <I>Alfie, my boy<\/i>, I think, <i>wasn&#8217;t Higgins on the other side last time?<\/i> I&#8217;m all back-to-front. I am still going DL when it says DL and DR when it says DR, and it all works, but I have Higgins on one side and Mrs. Higgins on the other, and <I>it&#8217;s the wrong side<\/i>. Or is it? Am I remembering it wrong? Which one was in the sofa? Which one was in the chair? Nobody else seems to think there&#8217;s anything different.\n\n<p>I still, stubbornly, think that they&#8217;ve switched it. And it works this way just fine. Maybe better. I couldn&#8217;t tell, because I was so thrown by it.\n\n<p>This is, by the way, utterly different from the blocking being off during a performance. During a performance, I can&#8217;t let myself be thrown by a little thing like two people switching chairs. There&#8217;s too much else to be thrown by. And by that point, I hope to hell I&#8217;ll <i>know<\/i> if we&#8217;ve screwed up the blocking, and I&#8217;ll roll with it. Lord knows I&#8217;ve done it before. But at this point, when we&#8217;re still working it all out, and I&#8217;m trying to decide what lines to pitch to which people, and when to stretch and when to stamp my little feet, and I could just <I>swear<\/I> he was on my right when I came in.\n\n<p><I>Tolerabimus quod tolerare debemus<\/I>,<br>-Vardibidian.\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>In Which Your Humble Blogger crosses down left, then down right, and comes back up center.
