Wednesday’s Rehearsal – Getting to Grips

On a cloudy and humid day, in a tall tower in the heart of Manchester (the fourth floor on Portland Street) there lies a room where magic happens.

The Goldfish rehearsals are well underway and the cast, writer and director gathered this Wednesday morning to delve into the script once again.

Strong relationships are forming, both in and out of character, and a brilliant mixture of fun and hard-work is present in this rehearsal room!


The talented actors are given excellent direction from Darren that transforms the scene from the words on the page, to a dynamic combination of shocking and heart-warming moments.

Focussed in the dialogue of the characters, the rehearsal explored how the relationships are formed from the language they exchange. The ‘Goldfish’ narrative is strongly rooted in the relationships between the characters; and how they are changed and manipulated through the positive and negative experiences they share.


It is safe to say that this will be an amazing performance, one not to be missed.
