Rehearsal: Waking up Betty

Actors Leah Muller (Abigail), Michelle Tate (Mercy) and Bethan Cecil (Betty) rehearse the beginning of the scene in Act 1 where the girls meet in Betty’s bedroom and try to wake her. Director Jonathan Church works on technical details with the actors, such as the moment when Mercy runs towards Betty’s bed to wake her with a slap.
