Miranda

That's just week three of rehearsal, of this three-month rehearsal process.

So that's not even like working with the text of the play.

Eventually, we start using Meisner's

to get into the text of this.

The play is written in vignettes, which are small scenes that are virtually unrelated to one another.

So it's basically like a lot of mini plays.

The way that he split everyone up is that everyone had one partner that you

worked with, and ultimately you did your vignettes with, they were all based on human emotions.

There was love, grief, politics.

The one that he put me in was sex.

The through line was like a couple who was arguing about their sex life for most of it.

It was pretty awkward for me specifically at that stage in my life.

I had virtually no experience in the world of sex at all.

And I think he just projected whatever he wanted me to be into this.

I think that it was just, in hindsight, very telling.

So I was in a vignette with a guy who, at no fault of his own, he was just cast in this play.

He just happened to be someone in our department who was older.

I was 19 when this play started.

He was probably 25.

All of our scene content was about sex and relationships.
