So in rehearsal the play should be blocked and the actors should become accustom to the actions they are going to perform. Yes. I do however hate how cut, dry and impersonal this feels. This could be that I have only experienced rehearsal through a college and high school atmosphere but I love discovering a play along with my other actors. Things that you should just know or that should be taken care of before rehearsal are things I enjoy experiencing as a group. Then Mamet starts ranting about "actable objectives" and I start flashing back to Units and Objectives, making Mamet seem a little hypocritical. Yes you must have an actable objective and this according to Mamet this requires commitment but I also believe it requires preparation if not on paper than in your mind.
Focus your efforts scene by scene and not on the play. Yes.
