[Renato]

where everything goes wrong [the night] before [the first] [performance].

[Julene]

[dry humping], [going through the motions] of sex without all that [pesky] penetration. there must be at least one type of fabric separating the required genitals at all times. no contact!

[Sonia]

the last time a theatre work is practised before the real performance, when it is performed with the clothes, stage, and lighting exactly as they will be for the real performance
