Blocking Notes


- At the start of the play, Father of bride (owner of the mansion) is sitting on the chair having tea (2) with a butler serving him, when suddenly the Mother of the groom strides in to the room guided by another butler through the entrance (1) -startling the father, making him stand up off his seat- and walks over to the couch (3) while saying "You know what I am here for". Father replies "yes", still standing up.
- Then she sits down as she says "And?"
- Father dismisses butlers (who then walks and stands at point 1), sits on his chair and continues the dialogue.
- NOTE: most of the act in the script occurs on the chair and couch. The mood comes from the voices and subtle movements of the characters that hints on what they are feeling during their discussion. 
- Mother stands up as she says "God bless her house".
- Father joins standing up as he says "May God bless it".
