More fab rehearsals for Ben Hur today.
We started on the Games. We have two versions of this depending on the available tech at venues, but whichever version of the “Games” we do, it opens with gladiators.
This isn’t just brawling- the gladiatorial games, unspeakably brutal though they were, were entertainment and the actors appearing as gladiators will be recreating that atmosphere. Here are some of our gladiators, from all across the Roman Empire, today practicing their entrances for the first time.
