Well, to be precise the actors Martin McCormick and Bill Mack are building a castle out of cardboard boxes. Some of the boxes have white paint on, others have the word 'trick', and there one small box is marked 'chicken'.
Confused?
We are in week two of rehearsals of Visible Fiction's production of my new play, The Adventures of Robin Hood. This is the messy bit. We've had the first week when we have played around with ideas, now we are almost half way through the second week and the room is in chaos.
This is when we work everything out. Despite the mayhem, we are actually making decisions and building the show, brick by brick. It's slow and painstaking yet always playful and fun.
And what at first seems like a pile of old boxes suddenly transforms into the great castle of Nottingham...
