A Tender tale of Romeo and Juliet
“We didn’t take anything off, but we did have moments where we’d say, this would happen, that would happen.” She laughs as Roe chimes in: “We got into bed and started improvising.” Don’t we all?
The pair are rehearsing A Tender Thing and the scene is not in the script. It was an exercise prompted by the play’s director, Selina Cartmell. If the aim was at building a convincing relationship as an on-stage couple, it’s either worked or simply added to what they have already established. Roe and Fouere are easy with each other, and, there’s an element of divilment in them. They joke and swap tales of rehearsals with ease, as if they were students out of earshot of their teacher on breaktime.
