"Rehearsals, A Ficlet", by Gratiana Lovelace, June 19, 2014 (completed)

To think of a thing is to acknowledge its existence. To see a thing is to want it. To want a thing--leads you into a lot of trouble, as the married John Proctor found out from his sexual dalliance with the much younger Abigail Williams in Arthur Miller’s The Crucible. This play happens to be currently in production at The Old Vic in London, England. This ficlet [(1) story logo top right] is my completely fictional imaginings of how the line between actors portraying lust and want and need and desire and the actors feeling those emotions themselves, might create some delicious artistic tension on the set and during rehearsals.
