Plays make me a bit nervous. At the start I always think the actors are going to forget their lines or fall off the stage. It takes me a while to relax. I think that probably reflexs some of my own anxieties.
I went to see a play recently and one of the actors was ill, so another actor had to play two parts, sometimes at the same time. So he frequently had to hold a conversation with himself.
I also went to an amateur production of Ibsen's Ghosts. The acting was so bad it looked like a Carry On production. Everybody was in fits all the way through.
