| My only other experience with a call for "line" was Tom Courtney in The Dresser. The cast was in the midst of a scene in the office and clearly someone had lost their way. After a pause, poor Marge Redmond was propelled onto the stage and opened the door to the room (so we assumed she was the responsible party). Then Tom Courtney bellowed "Just give me the LINE! I went UP! It HAPPENS! Then poor Marge Redmond kind of slunk offstage and we could hear pages being turned furiously stage right and then a line being read out, to which Tom Courtney said "THANK YOU!" and then continued with the scene. When Marge Redmond later entered, it was to tumultuous applause! |
