In My School President, Gun complains about having to play a part in the school play, adding, "Why can't Tiw do it?"
Tiw replies by listing off all the parts he has to play. (He is also the director.)
I'm short on bullets. |
Frasier, of course, then attempts to over-direct Niles, who sabotages the play by killing off all his characters (and everybody else's).
And years ago, in London, I saw The Reduced Shakespeare Company's The Complete Works of Shakespeare (Abridged). The performance is supposed to be managed by 3 people. That night, it was managed by 2!
There is something about people rushing about being more than one person that is terribly funny--it probably goes back to French farces and single people in different disguises leaping out of closets and cupboards.
Who will we see and hear this time?
