I took a few photos during our dress/technical rehearsal. The best thing about this rehearsal was how we were really able to see the entire show come together - how the costumes and set really help to tell the story.

The tree is obviously symbolic for the entire play - it revolving around one family's family tree. So having that in the background of every single scene allows the audience to constantly be reminded that it is about one family, it is one story being told here.

These two scenes are two of my favourites in the play - they're both moments of climax between two characters that haven't seen each other in years yet have a lot of complicated history. They're moments in the play that really tie the rest together, you realise that the Gideon is Jack Holman's child - you realise that the Gideon in the commune scene is the same person from the very beginning with Su-Lin. They're pivotal scenes for the play.
