| (0, 1) 80 | Hello Team Wonderland! |
| (0, 1) 82 | So first thing's first, lets introduce you all officially to our competition winners and live audience. |
| (0, 1) 83 | Nobody say bollocks! |
| (0, 1) 85 | So, we have Elin-Rose Phillips, say hello. |
| (Elin-Rose) Hello... | |
| (Elin-Rose) Hello... | |
| (0, 1) 87 | Shall we say a little bit about... |
| (0, 1) 88 | No, never mind, no time. |
| (0, 1) 89 | And, we are very lucky to have THE Nick Steed on board, absolute honour. |
| (0, 1) 90 | Let's not embarrass him. |
| (0, 1) 91 | Gail Lobo. |
| (Gael) Gael. | |
| (Gael) Gael. | |
| (0, 1) 93 | Gael! |
| (0, 1) 94 | So sorry! |

| (0, 1) 97 | Great to have you with us. |
| (0, 1) 98 | And Toby Grey, here we go... |
| (0, 1) 100 | DON'T! |
| (Toby) Sorry. | |
| (Toby) I was just... | |
| (0, 1) 104 | Yes, I know what you were doing. |
| (0, 1) 106 | And YOU! |
| (0, 1) 108 | What a privilege for you all to be part of this process, and this year it appears to be a very special cast indeed, and one that is going to top our all-female Mongolian cast of Three Sisters last year. |
| (0, 1) 109 | So, with no further delay, shall we break the ice and crack on with a good solid read-through just for running time? |
| (0, 1) 110 | Shall we get into a semi-circle... as they say in the business? |
| (0, 1) 112 | 'Sorry sir, dog ate mine!' |
| (0, 1) 113 | Ha. |
| (0, 1) 115 | Just a little joke. |
| (0, 1) 116 | No need to panic, I know how nerve wracking these first read-throughs can be. |
| (0, 1) 117 | So, actors, be aware we are just doing this for timing, no need to perform in any way but please feel free to take this opportunity to try things out if you wish. |
| (0, 1) 118 | If you are shit though, I will ask you to leave! |
| (0, 1) 120 | Now, THAT is a joke! |
| (Toby) Oh, sorry about that I was just... | |
| (Toby) I didn't mean. | |
| (0, 1) 123 | We won't stop, just straight through and we can deal with any issues afterwards. |
| (0, 1) 124 | Audience, please sit back and enjoy. |
| (0, 1) 125 | It would be great to have some feedback from you after if we have time. |
| (0, 1) 126 | I'm sure the actors would be very grateful to/ |
| (Nick) /I don't think that's necessary do you? | |
| (Nick) /I don't think that's necessary do you? | |
| (0, 1) 128 | Well, I just thought/ |
| (Nick) /Not a good idea, Fabian. | |
| (Nick) /Not a good idea, Fabian. | |
| (0, 1) 130 | Of course, on second thoughts, best not. |
| (Nick) No. | |
| (Nick) No. | |
| (0, 1) 132 | Yes, quite. |
| (Nick) No. | |
| (Nick) No. | |

| (0, 1) 138 | Over to the actors. |
| (Nick) No. | |
| (Nick) No. | |

| (0, 2) 169 | Beautiful. |
| (0, 2) 170 | How kind of you Elin-Rose. |
| (Elin-Rose) {To Fabian.} | |
| (Elin-Rose) Could you tell them not to be too rough? | |
| (0, 2) 174 | Could you not be too rough. |
| (Elin-Rose) Some of them might be edible... oops! | |
| (0, 2) 197 | Oh, how exciting. |
| (Toby) Did you do it all yourself? | |
| (Elin-Rose) No. | |
| (0, 2) 256 | Definitely not a cake. |
| (0, 2) 257 | Bit harder. |
| (0, 2) 258 | Beautifully wrapped I must say... |
| (0, 2) 259 | Oh it's a candle. |
| (Gael) Now, you can't go wrong with a candle. | |
| (Gael) Now, you can't go wrong with a candle. | |
| (0, 2) 261 | That's lovely. |
| (0, 2) 262 | Mmmmm, interesting smell. |
| (Gael) Really can't go wrong with a candle. | |
| (Gael) Really can't go wrong with a candle. | |
| (0, 2) 264 | They do really unusual fragrances this company. |
| (Gael) Never fails, a candle. | |
| (Gael) Can't go wrong. | |
| (0, 2) 267 | My mum had a vine tomato one last Christmas, very different but really nice. |
| (0, 2) 268 | What's this? |
| (0, 2) 269 | Oh, Country Farm. |
| (0, 2) 270 | Very unusual I must say. |
| (Nick) Let's have a whiff. | |
| (Nick) Let's have a whiff. | |
| (0, 2) 274 | Well thank you, Elin, thank you. |
| (0, 2) 275 | Elin? |
| (0, 2) 276 | ELIN! |
| (Elin-Rose) Really enjoyed doing it and it's the least I could do, getting the chance to work with such amazing, talented people. | |
| (Nick) Anyway now, Fabian has been waiting patiently and indeed so have the audience so... | |
| (0, 2) 304 | ... "Alice was beginning". |
| (0, 2) 307 | "Alice was beginning". |
| (0, 2) 309 | "Alice was beginning". |
| (Nick/Narrator) "Alice was beginning to get very tired of sitting by her sister on the bank and having nothing to do"/ | |
| (Nick) I've got pictures on my phone for those who don't believe me/ | |
| (0, 2) 317 | /Best not to right now, Nick. |
| (0, 2) 318 | Maybe later. |
| (Nick) Well that never happens – people will forget to ask. | |
| (Nick) Anyway, lost my train of thought now. | |
| (0, 2) 324 | Alice was beginning. |
| (Nick) I feel as the narrator I should isolate myself a bit. | |
| (Nick) I feel as the narrator I should isolate myself a bit. | |
| (0, 2) 326 | This is just a read-through right now. |
| (0, 2) 327 | Nick takes a downstage mic set up on a table. |
| (Nick/Narrator) Is this working? | |
| (Nick/Narrator) Broadsword to Danny Boy. | |
| (0, 2) 331 | "Alice was beginning". |
| (Nick/Narrator) "Alice was beginning to get very tired of sitting by her sister on the bank and having nothing to do. | |
| (Nick) You know? | |
| (0, 2) 350 | Yes, yes, please do Nick. |
| (0, 2) 351 | No problem at all. |
| (0, 2) 352 | I love input. |
| (0, 2) 353 | Alison always encourages collaboration. |
| (0, 2) 354 | We're all rabbit ears! |
| (Nick) Well, it's just... that's all you get. | |
| (Nick) More MEAT. | |
| (0, 2) 364 | Right. |
| (0, 2) 365 | Ok. |
| (0, 2) 367 | That is part of the original Lewis Carroll version but, how do you mean? |
| (Nick) Well, it's the relationship, you know? | |
| (Nick) We don't meet her sister again until the very end and I think, correct me if I'm wrong, that the audience needs to invest in that relationship for the story to work. | |
| (0, 2) 374 | Absolutely. |
| (0, 2) 375 | Good. |
| (0, 2) 376 | Ok. |
| (0, 2) 377 | So that's a potential little re-write there for Gwil? |
| (Nick) No, no, no, no, no! | |
| (Nick) We're all comfortable with improvisation, aren't we? | |
| (0, 2) 386 | But we must be careful that the writing isn't... and for now. |
| (Gael) Alive. | |
| (0, 2) 435 | Ok. |
| (0, 2) 436 | Great thoughts guys. |
| (0, 2) 437 | So maybe what you're suggesting is filling the lines with sub-text? |
| (0, 2) 438 | Thought processes? |
| (0, 2) 439 | Give it life underneath? |
| (0, 2) 440 | Good. |
| (Nick) No, I mean let's change it. | |
| (0, 2) 443 | So, let's pick it up where we left off, the entrance of the Rabbit. |
| (0, 2) 444 | Thanks Toby. |
| (Toby/Rabbit) "Oh dear! | |
| (Nick) There's no urgency. | |
| (0, 2) 460 | Ok, this is just the first reading Nick, so let's use this to just get a feel. |
| (0, 2) 461 | There's no need to think about characters or make decisions yet. |
| (0, 2) 462 | Let's just tell the story for now and have a play after/ |
| (Nick) /I appreciate that, Fabes, but if something's completely off the mark. | |
| (Gael) Well, the repetition in the dialogue suggests that this character is flummoxed, in a rush or... has tourette's... WANKER! | |
| (0, 2) 473 | Right, NO! |
| (0, 2) 474 | I don't think at this early stage we need/ |
| (Toby) /Exactly, so shall we continue? | |
| (Nick) I speak my mind but alas, I also know when I'm not wanted. | |
| (0, 2) 482 | Oh Nick, your opinion is wanted and very highly respected, it would just be great to get this timed for our technician and discuss character motivations and plot line later. |
| (0, 2) 484 | If you want to have a private chat with me later/ |
| (Toby) /So, shall we continue? | |
| (Toby) Shall we continue? | |
| (0, 2) 519 | Yes please. |
| (0, 2) 520 | We are on a tight schedule. |
| (Nick) And we are timing guys. | |
| (0, 2) 563 | Yes, that's an interesting point Nick raises and/ |
| (Nick) /Try it now, 'Who in the world am |I|?' | |
| (0, 2) 585 | Who in the world |am| I? |
| (Nick) Exactly. | |
| (Toby) Should we carry on? | |
| (0, 2) 601 | I'm not sure we have the budget or time for a full musical score, Nick, as much as we'd love to exploit your talents. |
| (0, 2) 602 | And that was quite something. |
| (Nick) But you're not. | |
| (Nick) But you're not. | |
| (0, 2) 604 | What? |
| (Nick) Exposing my talents. | |
| (Nick) Exposing my talents. | |
| (0, 2) 606 | Exploiting. |
| (Nick) I didn't say that. | |
| (Toby) And, like Fabian said, there's no space for it. | |
| (0, 2) 612 | I didn't actually say that. |
| (Nick) /There should be songs. | |
| (Nick) I'm Jean Valjean | |
| (0, 2) 624 | Shall we have a tea break everyone and come back to this with a fresh head? |
| (0, 2) 626 | Great work thus far guys. |
| (0, 2) 628 | Bear with us and help yourself to the bits and pieces. |
| (0, 2) 631 | NO! |
| (0, 2) 632 | NOT THOSE! |
| (0, 2) 633 | Sorry, it's just these are just for the audience. |
| (0, 2) 637 | Actually Gail, could I have a word? |
| (Gael) Gael. | |
| (Gael) Gael. | |
| (0, 2) 639 | Pardon? |
| (Gael) It's Gael. | |
| (Gael) It's Gael. | |
| (0, 2) 641 | Oh, yes sorry. |
| (0, 2) 642 | Gael could/ |
| (Gael) /Yes? | |
| (Gael) /Yes? | |
| (0, 2) 644 | Could I have a word? |
| (Gael) Yes. | |
| (Gael) Yes. | |
