Well we're all professionals, right, just there to do a job and do our cues on time, right, then along comes a really hilarious comedy and you're in tears of laughter and can't hear the cues with the audience screaming with mirth, the early Barry Humphries shows were like that and he wasn't a forgiving person, on or off stage.An English production of "in Praise of Love" with a fine actress Sylvia Simms would bring tears to my eyes every night without fail, and when I first operated "the Elocution of Benjamin Franklin I thought what a load of rubbish, but as the weeks went on I fell deeper and deeper into the plot.The other 300 or more shows I have done were mainly just jobs, but has anyone else been unprofessional enough to fall under the spell of a performance?
