Yes and no... I've got a play called Curtain Call. This play revolves around a road company production of Hamlet... everything that has ever gone wrong in a play goes wrong in this play. So, the Hamlet lines are there... but only as a launching point.

The scene that caused the melt down is the gravedigger scene at Ophelia's funeral. One "actor" doesn't have lines since she can't "act". So, she starts making some up, which causes another actor to melt-down and refuse to act with her.

So, 10 years are doing Hamlet, but not really...

Can they do it.. up until yesterday... great. After they were threatened (and that sounds a lot meaner than I actually was) flawlessly. Why did it come to that? I don't know. It's a mystery.

Maybe you should make them "promise on the Precious"

Listening to you recount your day yesterday reminded me of the character that Jon Lovitz played on SNL. He would be an actor who would be overacting everything in the extreme and then end with some wild death scene and then jump up exclaiming, "I was only acting!!"

I admit, it loses a bit of its humor in the telling. ;^)
