Challenges we came across

One of the challenges we came across was the double casting of the characters for example we had:

• 3 Queen Lears 
• 3 Fools
• 2 regans
• 2 cordelias
• 2 gonerils 

I believe that this was challenging because we didn't split the entire play with our dual character we had both of the actors on stage together at the same time, so they were playing shadows of each other when the other talks.

This was hard to do because at first we didn't really know what do with ourselves when our other part was talking in a way that the audience would understand. 

However me and Katie decided to do it in a way where we were like twins always defending and helping each other, also when one of us were talking we would display the physicality of the other. 

Also another challenge we had to overcome was how to connect with all 3 Lears at the same time even if we're are in a scene with one of them, a way we did this was in my pocket i had a mirror so at times i would look into the mirror than reflect it on the 3 queens and show how i am a reflection of them.
