| A professional production of Macbeth, set in 1930s Scotland (Lady Macbeth was costumed and wigged to look like Wallis Simpson, very effective). During the banquet scene the rest of the cast was seated along a long banquet table upstage, facing the audience, while Macbeth soliloquized downstage. At one point a bottle of champagne was opened ... and went EVERYWHERE. With absolute poker faces each cast member passed the prop napkins they had in their laps one by one silently down the table and cleaned it up. Macbeth never missed a beat. It was hysterical. |
