Clothings!!!

Okay peeps. This is going to be alittle complicated so bear with me. Don't bother looking at other characters, just focus on yours. I am giving you your clothing breakdown below. Zoom into your character's name and you will find stated, the number of attires required.

Also, I will state the scenes you are involved in. For example, "A1S1" means "Act 1 Scene 1" and "A3S2" means "Act 3 Scene 2" and so on so forth. Also, to help you better, I have made some notes on the scenes. Here's our a character's breakdown will look like. I'm going to use a random name as a character.

A) Christopher
- 5 attires
- A1S1, A1S3, A2S4, A2S5, A3S1, A3S3, A3S5

Now here's the explanation: If the Act and scene is bold and underlined, it means that at the end of that scene, you have to change your attire for the next scene. Meaning, in the above example, "A1S3" is bold and underlined. Therefore, after the scene has ended, you must change into a new attire. Now if the Act and Scenes that are side by side are highlighted in red, it means that it is an EXTREMELY quick change. Therefore, you have no time to change into a completely different attire. You can only put on a jacket or remove a jacket to change the outfit around.

Understand? Good.

ALSO TAKE NOTE THAT I HAVE SWAPPED ACT 2 SCENE 2 AND ACT 2 SCENE 3. Meaning "Act 2 Scene 2" in your script is now "Act 2 Scene 3" and "Act 2 Scene 3" is now "Act 2 Scene 2"

Can? Ok.

Now you may look below for your character and it's breakdown. If you still don't understand anything here or the breakdown below or find that there is a mistake!, please call me and we will clarify over the phone! : )

Changes in Script

This is pertaining to Henry and Cass's character only.

Extract of pages 29-30 of Script:



(Katie nods her head. Henry leads her off stage. Cassandra sits there at a table in shock of what to do. She stands up and begins rearranging everything on the table. Henry walks back in and notices what she’s doing. He holds her hand and pulls her to sit down. They sit there in silence.)

Cass: I should have known. I should have known.

Henry: You couldn’t have! You heard what Dr. Joseph said. It’s only diagnosed after it has spread throughout the body!

Cass: Stop!

Henry: No listen! We couldn’t have known.

Cass: But...

Henry: Cass. We couldn’t have known.

Cass: (Stands up in agitation with herself.) I wasn’t observant enough Henry! I wasn’t! I was too focused with work! You were too focused in work! What kind of parents are we if we couldn’t even see the signs?

Henry: But Dr. Joseph said that even if the signs we had read were not enough to diagnose this! Katie’s tummy aches could have been symptoms for other diseases too!

Cass: But they’re not, are they Henry? (Angrily) Katie doesn’t have some common disease! Katie’s got Neuroblastoma! Katie’s got cancer!

(Silence between the two of them.)

Cass: (Weakly.) My baby’s got cancer.

Henry: Everything will be okay.

Cass: No it won’t Henry.

Henry: We couldn’t have known. Dr. Joseph explained that Neuroblastoma is hard to diagnose in early stages because the symptoms are similar to most other common illness in children. It was difficult to diagnose Cass! Neuroblastoma is usually discovered at stage 3 or stage 4.

Cass: (Sobs). What if Dr. Joseph is wrong.

Henry: He’s done the checks Cass. He’s not wrong.
Cass: I never thought this would happen. Not to us; never to us.

Henry: No one does Cass. But we’re affected now and we’ve got to do the best that we can.

Cass: It’s a lot Henry. The treatments, the surgeries to remove the Tumors, the medications...

Henry: It’s a lot, I know. But we’ll do it one step at a time.

Cass: (Repeats him dully) One step at a time.

Henry: Yes. (Squeezes her hand.) Come on. We should sleep. We’ll be able to think better in the morning and plan all this out.

Cass: I’ll come in awhile.

(Henry kisses the top of Cass’ head.)
