  • Elephant Wake by Joey Tremblay Sixth Draft Post -Production
    Elephant Wake By Joey Tremblay Post-production draft. 0 Elephant Wake By Joey Tremblay Sixth draft Post -Production The play is set in a fictional French hamlet called Ste. Vierge. Ste. Vierge is for the most part a ghost-town situated on a gravel road somewhere on the Saskatchewan Prairie. Jean Claude is its sole remaining resident. He is about 68 years old. Obviously the piece is a “one-man show”. However it is important to note that, in spirit, the audience plays a significant role in creating the environment of the play. Jean Claude speaks to them directly and in real time. They become and an essential part of the action. The performer playing Jean Claude should always be aware of the presence of the actual audience in real time. He should think of the monologue as the musical score – the chord charts. But he should be like a jazz musician who uses specific moments (during transitions between beats) to riff on the play’s themes to create improvised solos in dialogue with the audience. The following text will try to reflect as much as possible where these moments can take place. The feel of the performance should always feel fresh and of the moment. He should come across as a man telling his stories in a stream of conscious sort of way. We should lose the sense that the actor has memorized any lines. It is important that the design of the piece provide the actor with objects from the past that trigger memory for the actor. He is surrounded by the bones of his past.
