The theatre provincial tour with something Shakespearean. In the play, was the scene on the lovers in the quiet garden, flying Cupid and melodically sings, "I'm Cupid, bringer of love..." at Home no technical difficulties with the execution of the stunt was not. A local theater was that of the carriage, which is attached to the cable with the actor, too high speed — the actor simply will not have time to pronounce the whole phrase in flight.

One of the students played "target" — in one scene of the play where the hero from the scene shot from a bow, the arrow flew behind the scenes, and the actor-target at this moment, quickly took out another arrow, puts it to her breast and fell dead.
But one day on the show was attended by distinguished political figures, so the theater had dozens of new "stagehands" and "fire". And during this scene alert "fireman" saw bow tie, jumped out from behind the scenes, and the arrow hit him. And the actor-target did everything as always...

Who is there, in a crimson beret with a Turkish Ambassador says?

And the schedule was very tight, so he tried quickly to die and fled to another tree. He died, being shot to death while trying to fall behind the scenes, so you can always leave.

Once colleagues decided to play a trick on him They specifically played the scene so that he had to fall, slain by the shot, right in the middle of the stage. What to do? If you lie, you're not on the tree. In General, while colleagues played the scene, he found a way out: he began to slowly crawl to the wings in the way, suffering from his wounds.
