Where are you going tonight?

^ Every scene change there was a skiffle group called the Crazies would jump on stage and perform for two minutes. They were also on stage prior to the performance for 20 minutes whilst everyone took their seats and again during the interval. Very good too. Not sure I'd call it slapstick, bordering on farce perhaps, and, yes, someones trousers did fall down.

Ok, actually that is the same show.

It's had great reviews in London so there must be something I'm missing.

Can't be doing with all that hummus sandwich bollocks myself, even if you do call it 'commedia dell'arte'...

Yeah, the humus guy and the sweet innocent girl that got the fire extinguisher set off all over her were obviously audience stooges. Not sure about the other two who got up on stage though.

I wasn't sure about the extinguisher girl until they pretended to bang her head on the door - then I knew they'd gone too far...

The other two are actually members of the public - I spoke to our two in the bar at the interval, and have read this: http://www.dailymail.co.uk/femail/artic ... TINGS.html" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;

Sorry General, these spoilers ruin the show's main gags, so we've fecked it for you now anyway.

went to watch a panto years ago - and in one of the scenes one of the characters (fairy godmother IIRC - bloke in drag) was supposed to fly across stage on wires... but the mechanism jammed and he was left dangling - and while they sorted it out he had to ad lib - and very funny it was...

anyway - told someone else who had been the night before - and (funnily enough) exactly the same thing had happened when they went to see it..

bastards! (I'm so gullible!)

In my last year at Bolton Tech we put on a Shakespeare play ( can't remember which now?) to be shown to the public for a couple of nights. Along with another lad we played a couple of clerks who had to lift the body of somebody onto a bed at the rear of the stage, very dramatic. Unfortunately, at the dress rehearsal watched by quite a lot of the pupils and teachers, we were a bit careless and, as we turned away, he fell off. Brought the house down and the teacher directing it was so delighted we had to make it happen in the actual show.
Only bloke not too happy was the "body" as the bed was quite high. Not very Shakespeare, but it went down very well, as did the whole thing.

At an AmDram some years ago we put on Ira Levin's 'Death Trap'.

The first Act ends with a recently disappeared person's body being discovered in a cupboard, Cue Lights, b/o and curtain.

We had a mannequin from Dorothy Perkins dressed a'la the murdered woman. It was behind a cupboard door set high & at an angle. When the cupboard door was opened it swung out, with a rope & noose round her neck & across toward the audience before the lights were killed.

It worked throughout rehearsals & was very effective.

However, on the first night the neck, whick I assume had suffered strain throughout rehearsal, severed. The head stayed in the noose as the, now headless, 'corpse' skidded across stage and into the first row.

It's fair to say it led to a few screams.
