In this episode, Milton begins talking through The Rainmaker by N. Richard Nash. It’s an example of how we can begin working on a play by ourselves. There is no right way. We can take our initial impressions (whatever hits us first) and wander around with them in a non-performative way. We do this, in large part, to discover what world we’re in, and that becomes our entree into all the specific elements that exist in that world. “But I resist making a decision for as long as possible,” Milton says, referring to the barn in the play. “The reason is: I want every decision I make to feed into my understanding of what the scene is about. And at this point, I don’t know enough yet, about the play or my character, to create the barn. But once I know more, I’m going to build it in a way that helps me an as actor, that gives my character something to play against.”
