Today, Steven grabbed me and pulled me to him so hard that my nose slammed into his shoulder. Hard. Very, very hard.First thought: Oh, God, what if my nose is broken? I was seized by visions of having to quit Hamlet due to my disfigured face . . . or having to continue with the show despite being grossly disfigured because WE OPEN ON TUESDAY AND I DON'T HAVE AN UNDERSTUDY. It's a Catch-22, really. Turns out my nose did not break, thankfully. But it really fucking hurt . . . and I can feel that my nose is all bruised on the inside now. Evan was surprised . . . and complained about how Steven actually cut him one time with one of the rapiers used in the final scene. Junie was appalled . . . and said that she's concerned that Steven is going to sprain her ankle . . . because he picks her up in a hug and kind of tosses her down. She wears four-inch heeled boots. With curved soles. Those are like magnets for injuries, especially on a marble floor, which is what our stage has. Marlene saw me massaging my nose and jestingly told me to stop snorting the unction used to "poison" the rapiers (it's actually Sweet 'n Low), and I told her that I figured my nose was probably broken. She told me that Steven tends to get . . . passionate. And then she kind of walked away. And this isn't the first injury Steven has given me . . . although, granted, it is the most painful and potentially disfiguring. I mean, I kind of NEED my nose. I've got bruises all over me from him grabbing me . . . they're mostly on my arms. Thankfully, I spend the entire show in long sleeves. And then those times he's given me beard scrape. And he kind of stepped on my finger once. I'm really quite pissed. I was wearing a sleeveless shirt tonight and my mother saw the bruises and wondered why I kept rubbing my nose. I told her. She was more appalled than I'd expected . . . which made me kind of realize that it is a somewhat bad situation. I suppose I got too used to it to realize . . . until today, when I was legitimately concerned that I'd broken my nose. And it wouldn't even have been a cool nose-breaking story, unlike Tara's. She broke her nose doing a back handspring. My nose-breaking story would have been "Oh, my scene partner pulled me into a hug and my nose hit his shoulder. Why, yes, I AM that delicate." Fucking . . . 4 Comments:
I can't believe M. stood up for S. Is he like her star player???
