Rehearsal: Betty tries to fly

Actors Leah Muller (Abigail), Michelle Tate (Mercy), Bethan Cecil (Betty) and Sara Beharrel (Mary) rehearse the end of the scene in Act 1 where the four girls are alone in Betty’s room, from the point where Betty leaps out of bed and tries to fly out of the window. Director Jonathan Church comments on their performance and on Bethan’s positioning when she leaps towards the window.
