Outsider’s Insights

I just remembered one performance from our tour in June.
There were some very intense moments in the play; anger, sorrow etc. The audiences’ reactions usually showed us that the play worked.
Except this one special school performance: At one point, the main character being pissed off he smashes his mobile phone into the bus stop shelter. And this caused an uproar and gasping in the otherwise unmoved audience. I would have very much liked to look into people’s heads: “Oh my god, he is throwing away his mobile. Now it is going to get serious.”
