Poppets and Accusations

Back from break to jump right into The Crucible rehearsals which consisted of giggles, groping and gasps. Ha, i was actually able to list three things that actually happened if it is considered groping when you grab some one's hair. My group is doing the second half of Act III and i have the pleasure of being Abigail (who screams ALOT). But i have some issues with this one section as far as giggles go :


DANFORTH, blanched, in horror, turning to Abigail:
You deny every scrap and tittle of this?

ABIGAIL: If I must answer that, I will leave and I will not come back again!

Call it immature, dumb or whatever you want but the word tittle makes Erin (she plays Danforth) and i crack up! This in turn messes up everything because i'm supposed to be angry and once it peeks out the character is broken and i can't scream proper. We don't even have to say the word and there we go...I have been attempting to make the word unfunny, but no amount of repetition or overuse helps and it might be a lost cause. Other than that, so far the costumes are coming along splendidly and i whipped out an apron and collar yesterday which looks pretty damn good for a whimsy 45 minutes of work. But that's all i can delve into today because i have to get back to the grid iron and learn those lines before May 8th!
