Directing a surrealist play in the Fringe Festival at ISK

I've been working hard on finding a play to direct and the device I'm going to explore for my IPP (Individual Project Portfolio) for HL Theatre in March. After having great troubles due to matatu strikes, sport events and the holidays, we finally were able to have the auditions for actors for our plays. I'm quite happy with my actors. I only need three, and got three good ones! I've been working hard on analysing my script, which is a Surrealistic play by Roger Vitrac, called free entry. I'm really excited about the project and I think I can do quite well. Because the play is surrealistic, it took me the whole break to find the script and finally analyse it, but finally I THINK I know what it is about. Now I need to write bios for the characters and discuss it with my actors. It is going to be interesting to see if they have anything to add to my analysis. I need to get my drama teachers approval of the play, and I really hope she will approve it - rehearsals are starting next week!!
